Gauging Isometries on Hyperkähler Cones and Quaternion-Kähler Manifolds

چکیده
We extend our previous results on the relation between quaternion-Kähler manifolds and hyperkähler cones and we describe how isometries, moment maps and scalar potentials descend from the cone to the quaternion-Kähler space. As an example of the general construction, we discuss the gauging and the corresponding scalar potential of hypermultiplets with the unitary Wolf spaces as target spaces. This class includes the universal hypermultiplet.

Hypermultiplets, 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 کاملSelf Dual Einstein Orbifolds with Few Symmetries as Quaternion Kähler Quotients
We construct a new family of compact orbifolds O(Θ) with a positive self dual Einstein metric and a one-dimensional group of isometries. Together with another family, introduced in [6] and here denoted by O(Ω), these examples classify all 4-dimensional orbifolds that are quaternion Kähler quotients by a torus of real Grassmannians.
متن کاملOff - 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 کاملHyperKähler and quaternionic Kähler manifolds with S– symmetries
We study relations between quaternionic Riemannian manifolds admitting different types of symmetries. We show that any hyperKähler manifold admitting hyperKähler potential and triholomorphic action of S1 can be constructed from another hyperKähler manifold (of lower dimention) with an action of S1 which fixes one complex structure and rotates the other two and vice versa. On the other hand, the...
متن کاملTwo-orbit Kähler Manifolds and Morse Theory
We deal with compact Kähler manifolds M acted on by a compact Lie group K of isometries, whose complexification K has exactly one open and one closed orbit in M . If the K-action is Hamiltonian, we obtain results on the cohomology and the K-equivariant cohomology of M .
