Abstract

Using non chiral supersymmetry in 6D space time, we compute the explicit expression of the metric the scalar manifold SO(1,1)×SO(4,20)SO(4)×SO(20)SO(1,1) \times \frac{SO(4,20) }{SO(4) \times SO(20)} of the 10D type IIA superstring on generic K3. We consider as well the scalar field self-couplings in the general case where the non chiral 6D supergravity multiplet is coupled to generic n vector supermultiplets with moduli space SO(1,1)×SO(4,n)SO(4)×SO(n)SO(1,1) \times \frac{SO(4,n)}{SO(4) \times SO(n)}. We also work out a dictionary giving a correspondence between hyperKahler geometry and the Kahler geometry of the Coulomb branch of 10D type IIA on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Others features are also discussed.
