Abstract

I explore the intimate connection between supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models and (generalized) complex geometry. This is a short summary of some of the topics covered in my lectures in Kerkyra.

## Abstract In these lectures we review Generalized Complex Geometry and discuss two main applications to string theory: the description of supersymmetric flux compactifications and the supersymmetric embedding of D‐branes. We start by reviewing G‐structures, and in particular SU(3)‐structure and i
