A potential for Generalized Kahler Geometry

arXiv:hep-th/0703111 · doi:10.4171/079-1/8

Abstract

We show that, locally, all geometric objects of Generalized Kahler Geometry can be derived from a function K, the "generalized Kahler potential''. The metric g and two-form B are determined as nonlinear functions of second derivatives of K. These nonlinearities are shown to arise via a quotient construction from an auxiliary local product (ALP) space.
