String theory provides many fresh ideas for studying geometrical structures on manifolds. Some of them are guided by physical intuition and require a rigorous mathematical analysis and a proof of their existence. In this talk we will give an example which illustrates how a new concept of geometric structure will emerge out of combining information of metrics, submanifolds, and bundles with special structures. We show how this leads to interesting questions at the junction of algebraic and differential geometry.
