Doubled space and extended supersymmetry

abstract:

In this talk I will discuss N=(2,2) susy generalisation of Hull's doubled sigma model. The doubled formulation of the worldsheet provides a description of string theory in which T-duality is promoted to a manifest symmetry. Formulation via N=(2,2) superspace provides a doubled formulation for bi-Hermitian/generalised Kahler target spaces. The theory is described by a single function, a doubled-generalised Kahler potential, supplemented with a manifestly N=(2,2) constraint. If time permits I will ilustrate some of the concepts developed on examples.
