Type II Structure

1 Definition and local flatness

This is mostly analogous to the Heterotic Structure:
  • Instead of we consider

  • Instead of we must have (an odd distribution)

So, the Type II structure consists of two odd distributions and on , which must satisfy:

(1)

We will for now assume that both and are everywhere nondegenerate.

Local flatness means that locally on we can assume that and are generated by the following vector fields and :

(2)

(3)

The proof is similar to heterotic.

2 Worldsheet action

This is, again, analogous to heterotic:
