Bochner-Kodaira Formulas and the Type IIA Flow
@article{Fei2020BochnerKodairaFA, title={Bochner-Kodaira Formulas and the Type IIA Flow}, author={Teng Fei and Duong Hong Phong and S{\'e}bastien Picard and Xiangwen Zhang}, journal={arXiv: Differential Geometry}, year={2020} }
A new derivation of the flow of metrics in the Type IIA flow is given. It is adapted to the formulation of the flow as a variant of a Laplacian flow, and it uses the projected Levi-Civita connection of the metrics themselves instead of their conformal rescalings.

Stability of the Type IIA flow and its applications in symplectic geometry

In this paper the dynamical stability of the Type IIA flow with no source near its stationary points is established. These stationary points had been shown previously by the authors to be Ricci-flat…
Special solutions to the Type IIA flow

We consider the source-free Type IIA flow introduced by Fei-Phong-PicardZhang [10], and we study it in the case when the relevant geometric datum is a symplectic half-flat SU(3)-structure. We show…
Symplectic geometric flows

A geometric flow on $6$-dimensional symplectic manifolds is introduced which is motivated by supersymmetric compactifications of the Type IIA string. The underlying structure turns out to be SU(3)…
Reformulating supersymmetry with a generalized Dolbeault operator

The conditions for = 1 supersymmetry in type II supergravity have been previously reformulated in terms of generalized complex geometry. We improve that reformulation so as to completely eliminate…

We show that the complex cohomologies of Bott, Chern, and Aeppli and the symplectic cohomologies of Tseng and Yau arise in the context of type II string theory. Specifically, they can be used to…

We characterize = 1 vacua of type-II theories in terms of generalized complex structure on the internal manifold M. The structure group of T(M)⊕T*(M) being SU(3) × SU(3) implies the existence of two…

There is a rich class of non-Kähler complex manifolds for dimension greater than two. It is therefore important to construct canonical geometry on such manifolds. Since non-Kähler geometry is not as…
