Description
Calabi-Yau moduli spaces have a super extension due to their relation to type II superstring compactifications. Supermoduli can be defined as N=2 target space vector-supermultiplets containing both the moduli and their vector field bosonic superpartners. A change of basis in the cohomology vector space corresponds to (modular) duality transformations of target space gvector field strengths. Target space two-forms will take values in the cohomology spaces of Calabi-Yau manifolds, and are therefore related to the Kaehler class and complex structure deformations, which may be relevant for the description of mirror symmetries of (2, 2) superconformal field theories.
