The symmetries of two-dimensional supersymmetric sigma models on target spaces with covariantly constant forms associated to special holonomy groups are analysed. It is shown that each pair of such forms gives rise to a new one, called a Nijenhuis form, and that there may be further reductions of the structure group. In many cases of interest there are also covariantly constant one-forms which also give rise to symmetries. These geometries are of interest in the context of heterotic supergravity solutions and the associated reductions are studied from a spacetime point of view via the Killing spinor equations.

  1. $\mathcal{SW}$-algebras and strings with torsion

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For G2 and SU(3) string backgrounds with NS flux, the scalar torsion class controls the first-order deformation of the worldsheet super W-algebra couplings away from special holonomy.

  2. Brane Symmetries Revisited: Symmetries of Tensile and Tensionless Branes in Possibly Degenerate Metrics and their Manifestations

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Tensionless p-branes and branes in degenerate-metric spacetimes admit symmetry transformations built from Killing tensors of arbitrary rank, extending string W-symmetries to all brane dimensions.
