introduced :
manifold, structure, notion, Calabi-Yau, functional, concept and bracket.

Results for "Nigel Hitchin introduced manifold"

Calabi–Yau manifold When fluxes are included the supersymmetry condition instead implies that the compactification manifold be a generalized Calabi–Yau, a notion introduced in 2002 by Nigel Hitchin.

Hitchin functional As with Hitchin's introduction of generalized complex manifolds, this is an example of a mathematical tool found useful in theoretical physics.

Pure spinor In 2002 Nigel Hitchin introduced generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds in his paper Generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds, where the generalized complex structure is defined by a pure spinor.

Results for "Nigel Hitchin introduced structure"

Generalized complex structure Generalized complex structures were introduced by Nigel Hitchin in 2002 and further developed by his students Marco Gualtieri and Gil Cavalcanti.

Generalized complex structure Notice that a generalized Calabi metric structure, which was introduced by Gualtieri, is a stronger condition than a generalized Calabi-Yau structure, which was introduced by Hitchin.

Results for "Nigel Hitchin introduced notion"

Almost complex manifold Nigel Hitchin introduced the notion of a generalized almost complex structure on the manifold M, which was elaborated in the doctoral dissertations of his students Marco Gualtieri and Gil Cavalcanti.

Calabi–Yau manifold When fluxes are included the supersymmetry condition instead implies that the compactification manifold be a generalized Calabi–Yau, a notion introduced in 2002 by Nigel Hitchin.

Results for "Nigel Hitchin introduced Calabi-Yau"

Calabi–Yau manifold When fluxes are included the supersymmetry condition instead implies that the compactification manifold be a generalized Calabi–Yau, a notion introduced in 2002 by Nigel Hitchin.
