In mathematics, the Bismut connection is the unique connection on a complex Hermitian manifold that satisfies the following conditions, # It preserves the metric # It preserves the complex structure # The torsion contracted with the metric, i.e. , is totally skew-symmetric. Bismut has used this connection when proving a local index formula for the Dolbeault operator on non-Kähler manifolds. Bismut connection has applications in type II and heterotic string theory. The explicit construction goes as follows. Let denote the pairng of two vectors using the metric that is Hermitian w.r.t the complex structure, i.e. . Further let be the Levi-Civita connection. Define first a tensor such that . It is easy to see that this tensor is anti-symmetric in the first and last entry, i.e. the new connection still preserves the metric. In concrete terms, the new connection is given by with being the Levi-Civita connection. It is also easy to see that the new connection preserves the complex structure. However, the tensor is not yet totall anti-symmetric, in fact the anti-symmetrization will lead to the Nijenhuis tensor. Denote the anti-symmetrization as , with given explicitly as : We show that still preserves the complex structure (that it preserves the metric is easy to see), i.e. . : So if is integrable, then above term vanishes, and the connection : gives the Bismut connection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bismut connection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
