Abstract:
We discuss a construction of curvature tensor for generalized connections on vector bundles. The construction employs an extension of the familiar differential calculus to the generalized tangent bundle. The consequences include extension of well-known classical notions, such as Ricci / scalar curvatures, to generalized geometry, and representation of some geometric flows in Lax form. It is based on the paper arXiv:2206.04566.
