KGaA, Weinheim dc.description.abstract We briefly review the description of the internal sector of supergravity theories in the language of generalised geometry and how this gives rise to a description of supersymmetric backgrounds as integrable geometric structures. We then review recent work, featuring holomorphic Courant algebroids, on the description of $\mathcal N=1$ heterotic flux vacua. This work studied the finite deformation problem of the Hull-Strominger system, guided by consideration of the superpotential functional on the relevant space of geometries. It rewrote the system in terms of the Maurer-Cartan set of a particular $L_\infty$-algebra associated to a holomorphic Courant algebroid, with the superpotential itself becoming an analogue of a holomorphic Chern-Simons functional. en dc.format.extent 11 dc.language.iso eng dc.relation.ispartof Fortschritte der Physik dc.subject hep-th dc.subject moduli spaces dc.subject supergravity dc.subject -structures dc.subject supersymmetric flux backgrounds dc.subject generalised geometry dc.subject Physics and Astronomy(all) dc.title Supergravity Fluxes and Generalised Geometry : LMS/EPSRC Durham Symposium on Higher Structures in M theory en dc.contributor.institution School of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics dc.contributor.institution Mathematics Research Group dc.description.status Peer reviewed dc.date.embargoedUntil 2020-05-06 dc.identifier.url http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85065315677&partnerID=8YFLogxK rioxxterms.version AM rioxxterms.versionofrecord https://doi.org/10.1002/prop.201910021 rioxxterms.type Journal Article/Review
