✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We discuss orientifold projections on superspace effective actions for hypermultiplets. We present a simple and new mechanism that allows one to find the Kähler potential and complex structure for the N = 1 theory directly in terms of the parent N = 2 theory. As an application, we demonstrate our method for Calabi‐Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB superstrings.

## Abstract We study B‐type parities in the framework of the linear sigma model. Geometrically, B‐type parities correspond to parity reversal combined with a holomorphic involution. The linear sigma model provides a framework to investigate such orientifolds away from the geometric regime.

## Abstract We present a manifestly supersymmetric description of A and B branes on Kähler manifolds using a completely local N = 2 superspace formulation of the world‐sheet nonlinear σ‐model in the presence of a boundary. In particular, we show that an N = 2 superspace description of type A bounda
