Abstract

We reformulate the compatibility condition between a generalized metric and a small (non-maximal rank) Dirac structure in an exact Courant algebroid found in the context of the gauging of strings and formulated by means of two connections in purely Dirac-geometric terms. The resulting notion, a transverse generalized metric, is also what is needed for the dynamics on the reduced phase space of a string theory.
