Isn't the notation misleading??? definitely isn't the hermitian conjugate of Q, because 2(H+P) definitely isn't the hermitian conjugate of 2(H-P). Both Q and are self-conjugate. AnonyScientist (talk) 06:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Hermitian conjugate is not usually denoted by the overbar, the standard notation is the dagger or the star. The overbar is used to denote complex conjugation. I don't know exactly why it is used in the literature in this case, but I guess that the reason is something like the following: Q and corresponds to and , which are sometimes written as and , and the latter are complex conjugates of each other if and are real. The overbar for Q hints to this. Nevertheless, I don't want to say that this overbar notation is the best possible one... Rzs8750 (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done notation changed in rewrite EduardoW (talk) 09:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Complete rewrite?

[edit]

Comparing this article to Mirror Symmetry by Kentaro Hori et al., pages 283, 288, 289, this article seems to be plain wrong in several regards. If there are no objections I will rewrite the entire article and also cover the N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) cases based on this source.EduardoW (talk) 08:49, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
