Instanton-induced scalar potential for the universal hypermultiplet
نویسنده
چکیده
We calculate the scalar potential in the gauged N=2 supergravity with a single hypermultiplet, whose generic quaternionic moduli space metric has an abelian isometry. This isometry is gauged by the use of a graviphoton gauge field. The hypermultiplet metric and the scalar potential are both governed by the single real potential that is a solution to the 3d (integrable) continuous Toda equation. An explicit solution, controlled by the Eisenstein series E3/2, is found in the case of the D-instanton-corrected universal hypermultilet moduli space metric having an U(1) × U(1) isometry, with one of the isometries being gauged.

Instanton Solutions for the Universal Hypermultiplet
We expand our previous analysis on fivebrane and membrane instanton solutions in the universal hypermultiplet, including near-extremal multi-centered solutions and mixed fivebranemembrane charged instantons. The results are most conveniently described in terms of a double-tensor multiplet.
متن کاملInstantons in the Double-Tensor Multiplet
The double-tensor multiplet naturally appears in type IIB superstring compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds, and is dual to the universal hypermultiplet. We revisit the calculation of instanton corrections to the low-energy effective action, in the supergravity approximation. We derive a Bogomol’nyi bound for the double-tensor multiplet and find new instanton solutions saturating the bound...
متن کاملInstanton Action for Type II Hypermultiplets
We analyze the hypermultiplet moduli space describing the universal sector of type IIA theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. The classical moduli space is described in terms of the coset SU(2, 1)/U(2). The flux quantization condition of the antisymmetric tensor field of M-theory implies discrete identifications for the scalar fields describing this four-dimensional quaternionic geometr...
متن کاملInstanton Corrections to the Universal Hypermultiplet and Automorphic Forms on SU(2, 1)
The hypermultiplet moduli space in Type IIA string theory compactified on a rigid Calabi-Yau threefold, corresponding to the “universal hypermultiplet”, is described at tree-level by the symmetric space SU(2, 1)/(SU(2)×U(1)). To determine the quantum corrections to this metric, we posit that a discrete subgroup of the continuous tree-level isometry group SU(2, 1), namely the Picard modular grou...
متن کاملSupergravity Instantons and the Universal Hypermultiplet
The effective action of N = 2 supersymmetric 5-dimensional supergravity arising from compactifications of M-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds receives non-perturbative corrections from wrapped Euclidean membranes and fivebranes. These contributions can be interpreted as instanton corrections in the 5 dimensional field theory. Focusing on the universal hypermultiplet, a solution of this type is pr...
