Generalized geometry and the Hodge decomposition
Abstract
In this lecture, delivered at the string theory and geometry workshop in Oberwolfach, we review some of the concepts of generalized geometry, as introduced by Hitchin and developed in the speaker's thesis. We also prove a Hodge decomposition for the twisted cohomology of a compact generalized Kähler manifold, as well as a generalization of the dd c-lemma of Kähler geometry.
