14 Jan 2025. Talk by Jaime Pedregal at the RSME’s 7th Congress of Young Researchers, Bilbao.
Abstract: Generalized geometry has proven to be a powerful unifying framework for different geometries such as complex, symplectic, Poisson and the like. The theory of generalized metrics has led to further links to other geometries, e.g. bihermitian geometry, which are also of interest in supersymmetric sigma models in string theory. In this talk we will give a gentle introduction to generalized geometry, focusing in particular on the Riemannian aspect of the theory.
