Two-Dimensional Gravity and Nonlinear Gauge Theory
read the original abstract
We review nonlinear gauge theory and its application to two-dimensional gravity. We construct a gauge theory based on nonlinear Lie algebras, which is an extension of the usual gauge theory based on Lie algebras. It is a new approach to generalization of the gauge theory. The two-dimensional gravity is derived from nonlinear Poincar{\' e} algebra, which is the new Yang-Mills like formulation of the gravitational theory. As typical examples, we investigate $R^2$ gravity with dynamical torsion and generic form of 'dilaton' gravity. The supersymmetric extension of this theory is also discussed.

Gauged Courant sigma models
Gauged Courant sigma models extend Courant sigma models by adding gauge symmetries from Lie algebroids and Courant algebroids, with consistency ensured by flatness conditions on target-space curvatures and torsions.

Q-Manifolds and Sigma Models
The paper summarizes BV formalism using Q- and QP-manifolds and constructs BV action functionals from the geometry of Lie algebroids and Courant algebroids.
