Supersymmetric Sigma Model geometry    [PDF]

Ulf Lindström

This is a review of how sigma models formulated in Superspace have become important tools for understanding geometry. Topics included are: The (hyper)k\"ahler reduction; projective superspace; the generalized Legendre construction; generalized K\"ahler geometry and constructions of hyperk\"ahler metrics on Hermitean symmetric spaces.
