Description
Radial quantization of stationary, spherically symmetric black holes
in four dimensional N = 2 supergravity yields supersymmetric spinning
particle models in quaternionic Kaehler manifolds via the c-map. This
talk will present the BRST detour quantization of such models. The
result is gauge invariant field theories of special quaternionic
vector bundles which underly and generalize the quaternionic version
of Dolbeault cohomology discovered by Baston.
