Tensor supermultiplets and toric quaternion - Kähler geometry †
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the relation between 4n-dimensional quaternion-Kähler metrics with n + 1 abelian isometries and superconformal theories of n + 1 tensor supermultiplets. As an application we construct the class of eight-dimensional quaternion-Kähler metrics with three abelian isometries in terms of a single function obeying a set of linear second-order partial differential equations.

Off - shell N = 2 tensor supermultiplets
A multiplet calculus is presented for an arbitrary number n of N = 2 tensor supermultiplets. For rigid supersymmetry the known couplings are reproduced. In the superconformal case the target spaces parametrized by the scalar fields are cones over (3n − 1)-dimensional spaces encoded in homogeneous SU(2) invariant potentials, subject to certain constraints. The coupling to conformal supergravity ...
متن کاملHypermultiplets, Hyperkähler Cones and Quaternion-Kähler Geometry
We study hyperkähler cones and their corresponding quaternion-Kähler spaces. We present a classification of 4(n − 1)-dimensional quaternionKähler spaces with n abelian quaternionic isometries, based on dualizing superconformal tensor multiplets. These manifolds characterize the geometry of the hypermultiplet sector of perturbative moduli spaces of type-II strings compactified on a Calabi-Yau ma...
متن کاملToric Self-dual Einstein Metrics as Quotients
We use the quaternion Kähler reduction technique to study old and new selfdual Einstein metrics of negative scalar curvature with at least a two-dimensional isometry group, and relate the quotient construction to the hyperbolic eigenfunction Ansatz. We focus in particular on the (semi-)quaternion Kähler quotients of (semi-)quaternion Kähler hyperboloids, analysing the completeness and topology,...
متن کاملDirac-kähler Equation 1
Tensor, matrix and quaternion formulations of Dirac-Kähler equation for massive and massless fields are considered. The equation matrices obtained are simple linear combinations of matrix elements in the 16-dimensional space. The projection matrix-dyads defining all the 16 independent equation solutions are found. A method of computing the traces of 16-dimensional Petiau-Duffin-Kemmer matrix pr...
متن کاملKähler-sasaki Geometry of Toric Symplectic Cones in Action-angle Coordinates
In the same way that a contact manifold determines and is determined by a symplectic cone, a Sasaki manifold determines and is determined by a suitable Kähler cone. KählerSasaki geometry is the geometry of these cones. This paper presents a symplectic action-angle coordinates approach to toric Kähler geometry and how it was recently generalized, by Burns-Guillemin-Lerman and Martelli-Sparks-Yau...
