The generazed Calabi-Yau problem

Abstract: I will describe an extension, proposed by Hitchin and Gualtieri, of the notion of a Calabi-Yau structure to generalized Kähler geometry. I will then discuss a conjectural classification of the generalized Kähler Calabi-Yau geometries, expressed in terms of Bogomolov-Beauville decomposition, and present a partial resolution.

This talk is based on a joint work with X. Fu, J. Streets and Y. Ustinovskiy.
