We study the graded geometric point of view of curvature and torsion of Q-manifolds (differential graded manifolds). In particular, we get a natural graded geometric definition of Courant algebroid curvature and torsion, which correctly restrict to Dirac structures. Depending on an auxiliary affine connection K, we introduce the K-curvature and K-torsion of a Courant algebroid connection. These are conventional tensors on the body. Finally, we compute their Ricci and scalar curvature.

The solution of the Calabi Conjecture by Yau implies that every Kahler Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ admits a metric with holonomy contained in $operatorname{SU}(n)$, and that these metrics are parametrized by the positive cone in $H^2(X,mathbb{R})$. In th
is work we give evidence of an extension of Yaus theorem to non-Kahler manifolds, where $X$ is replaced by a compact complex manifold with vanishing first Chern class endowed with a holomorphic Courant algebroid $Q$ of Bott-Chern type. The equations that define our notion of `best metric correspond to a mild generalization of the Hull-Strominger system, whereas the role of the second cohomology is played by an affine space of `Aeppli classes naturally associated to $Q$ via secondary holomorphic characteristic classes introduced by Donaldson
We study the (standard) cohomology $H^bullet_{st}(E)$ of a Courant algebroid $E$. We prove that if $E$ is transitive, the standard cohomology coincides with the naive cohomology $H_{naive}^bullet(E)$ as conjectured by Stienon and Xu. For a general Co
urant algebroid we define a spectral sequence converging to its standard cohomology. If $E$ is with split base, we prove that there exists a natural transgression homomorphism $T_3$ (with image in $H^3_{naive}(E)$) which, together with the naive cohomology, gives all $H^bullet_{st}(E)$. For generalized exact Courant algebroids, we give an explicit formula for $T_3$ depending only on the v{S}evera characteristic clas of $E$.
We give a complete solution to the existence problem for gravitating vortices with non-negative topological constant $c geqslant 0$. Our first main result builds on previous results by Yang and establishes the existence of solutions to the Einstein-B
ogomolnyi equations, corresponding to $c=0$, in all admissible Kahler classes. Our second main result completely solves the existence problem for $c>0$. Both results are proved by the continuity method and require that a GIT stability condition for an effective divisor on the Riemann sphere is satisfied. For the former, the continuity path starts from a given solution with $c = 0$ and deforms the Kahler class. For the latter result we start from the established solution in any fixed admissible Kahler class and deform the coupling constant $alpha$ towards $0$. A salient feature of our argument is a new bound $S_g geqslant c$ for the curvature of gravitating vortices, which we apply to construct a limiting solution along the path via Cheeger-Gromov theory.
We introduce a moment map picture for holomorphic string algebroids where the Hamiltonian gauge action is described by means of Morita equivalences, as suggested by higher gauge theory. The zero locus of our moment map is given by the solutions of th
e Calabi system, a coupled system of equations which provides a unifying framework for the classical Calabi problem and the Hull-Strominger system. Our main results are concerned with the geometry of the moduli space of solutions, and assume a technical condition which is fulfilled in examples. We prove that the moduli space carries a pseudo-Kahler metric with Kahler potential given by the dilaton functional, a topological formula for the metric, and an infinitesimal Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau type theorem. Finally, we relate our topological formula to a physical prediction for the gravitino mass in order to obtain a new conjectural obstruction for the Hull-Strominger system.
We introduce and study a notion of `Sasaki with torsion structure (ST) as an odd-dimensional analogue of Kahler with torsion geometry (KT). These are normal almost contact metric manifolds that admit a unique compatible connection with 3-form torsion
. Any odd-dimensional compact Lie group is shown to admit such a structure; in this case the structure is left-invariant and has closed torsion form. We illustrate the relation between ST structures and other generalizations of Sasaki geometry, and explain how some standard constructions in Sasaki geometry can be adapted to this setting. In particular, we relate the ST structure to a KT structure on the space of leaves, and show that both the cylinder and the cone over an ST manifold are KT, although only the cylinder behaves well with respect to closedness of the torsion form. Finally, we introduce a notion of `G-moment map. We provide criteria based on equivariant cohomology ensuring the existence of these maps, and then apply them as a tool for reducing ST structures.
