Superconformal Algebra and the Entropy of Hyperkähler Manifolds

چکیده
We study the elliptic genera of hyperKähler manifolds using the representation theory of N = 4 superconformal algebra. We consider the decomposition of the elliptic genera in terms of N = 4 irreducible characters, and derive the rate of increase of the multiplicities of half-BPS representations making use of Rademacher expansion. Exponential increase of the multiplicity suggests that we can associate the notion of an entropy to the geometry of hyperKähler manifolds. In the case of symmetric products of K3 surfaces our entropy agrees with the black hole entropy of D5-D1 system.

Unitary minimal models of SW ( 3 / 2 , 3 / 2 , 2 ) superconformal algebra and manifolds of G 2 holonomy
The SW(3/2, 3/2, 2) superconformal algebra is a W algebra with two free parameters. It consists of 3 superconformal currents of spins 3/2, 3/2 and 2. The algebra is proved to be the symmetry algebra of the coset su(2)⊕su(2)⊕su(2) su(2) . At the central charge c = 10 2 the algebra coincides with the superconformal algebra associated to manifolds of G2 holonomy. The unitary minimal models of the ...
متن کاملAutomorphisms of Hyperkähler Manifolds in the View of Topological Entropy
First we show that any group of automorphisms of null-entropy of a projective hyperkähler manifold M is almost abelian of rank at most ρ(M) − 2. We then characterize automorphisms of a K3 surface with nullentropy and those with positive entropy in algebro-geometric terms. We also give an example of a group of automorphisms which is not almost abelian in each dimension.
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 کاملSuperconformal Field Theories for Compact G2 Manifolds
We present the construction of exactly solvable superconformal field theories describing Type II string models compactified on compact G2 manifolds. These models are defined by anti-holomorphic quotients of the form (CY×S)/ZZ2, where we realize the Calabi-Yau as a Gepner model. In the superconformal field theory the ZZ2 acts as charge conjugation implying that the representation theory of a W(2...
متن کاملInstanton Strings and HyperKähler Geometry
We discuss two-dimensional sigma models on moduli spaces of instantons on K3 surfaces. These N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories describe the near-horizon dynamics of the D1-D5-brane system and are dual to string theory on AdS3. We derive a precise map relating the moduli of the K3 type IIB string compactification to the moduli of these conformal field theories and the corresponding classi...
