The geometric algebra of supersymmetric backgrounds

Supersymmetry-preserving backgrounds in supergravity and string theory can be studied using a powerful framework based on a natural realization of Clifford bundles. We explain the geometric origin of this framework and show how it can be used to formulate a theory of ‘constrained generalized Killing forms’, which gives a useful geometric translation of supersymmetry conditions in the presence of fluxes.
