TITLE: Not-so-odd generalized geometry

ABSTRACT: By simply adding the cotangent bundle to the usual tangent 
bundle, generalized geometry provides a novel approach to differential 
geometry. For instance, generalized complex geometry includes and goes 
beyond complex and symplectic geometry. Still, generalized complex 
structures can be defined only on even dimensional manifolds. In this 
talk we will show how generalized geometry can be easily adapted to fit 
generalized complex structures on odd manifolds and what other 
structures come in the same pack.
