Explore a 52-minute lecture on commuting pairs of generalized structures, para-hyper-Hermitian geometry, and Born geometry presented by Ruxandra Moraru from the University of Waterloo. Delve into the concept of generalized structures on smooth manifolds, defined as endomorphisms of the direct sum of tangent and cotangent bundles that square to plus or minus the identity. Examine pairs of generalized structures whose product forms a generalized metric, including generalized Kähler, para-Kähler, chiral, and anti-Kähler structures. Investigate the integrability of these structures and discover how para-hyper-Hermitian and Born geometry fit within this generalized framework.
