This paper is devoted to a study of geometric structures expressible in terms of graded symplectic supermanifolds. We extend the classical BRST formalism to arbitrary pseudo-Euclidean vector bundles (E\to M_{0}) by canonically associating to such a bundle a graded symplectic supermanifold ((M,\Omega)), with (\textrm{deg}(\Omega)=2). Conversely, every such manifold arises in this way. We describe the algebra of functions on (M) in terms of (E) and show that ``BRST charges'' on (M) correspond to Courant algebroid structures on (E), thereby constructing the standard complex for the latter as a generalization of the classical BRST complex. As an application of these ideas, we prove the acyclicity of ``higher de Rham complexes'', a generalization of a classic result of Fr\"{o}hlicher-Nijenhuis, and derive several easy but useful corollaries.

  1. The reduced Dirac structure of General Relativity on manifolds with corners

    math-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The reduced corner phase space of Palatini–Cartan gravity is a Dirac structure—the graph of a Poisson bivector—yielding a strict BF2V theory.

  2. Generalised Complex and Spinor Relations

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Courant algebroid relations define spinor and Dirac structure relations, with T-duality inducing spinor relations that generalize twisted cohomology isomorphisms and are compatible with Type II supergravity equations.

  3. Homotopies in Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism

    math-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Reviews homotopies in geometric BV formalism and builds new examples from RG flow and gauge changes to produce spans of quantum master actions with isomorphic effective actions.

  4. Off-shell double copy theories in BV

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A BV-formalism construction gives off-shell double-copy actions for Chern-Simons, BF, and 2D Yang-Mills theories, with Kodaira-Spencer and Kähler gravity as natural examples.

  5. Courant Algebroid Relations, T-Dualities and Generalised Ricci Flow

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using Courant algebroid relations, the authors prove that geometric T-duality maps solutions of generalized Ricci flow to solutions of generalized Ricci flow, preserving the generalized string background equations.
