Abstract

The underlying holomorphic structure of a generalized Kahler manifold has been recently understood to be a square in the double category of holomorphic symplectic groupoids (or (1,1)-shifted symplectic stacks). I will explain what this means and how it allows us to describe the generalized Kahler metric in terms of a single real scalar function, resolving a conjecture made by physicists Gates, Hull, and Rocek in 1984. This is based on joint work with Yucong Jiang and Daniel Alvarez available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.00831.
