Motivation

Generalized complex geometry � tailored todescribe susy

�� �� �

background sugra solutionswith fluxes

In the same way: supersymmetric D-branes �

generalized calibrations

Open string moduli � deformations of generalizedcalibrations

Calibrations

A way to find minimal volumes surface in a curvedspace

Second-order equations � first-order equations

Analogous to self-duality solves Yang-Mills equations

Or more generally BPS equations solve equations ofmotion
