Abstract

We define the quantum correction of the Teichm\"uller space T\mathcal{T} of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Under the assumption of no weak quantum correction, we prove that the Teichm\"uller space T\mathcal{T} is a locally symmetric space with the Weil-Petersson metric. For Calabi-Yau threefolds, we show that no strong quantum correction is equivalent to that, with the Hodge metric, the image Φ(T) \Phi(\mathcal{T}) of the Teichm\"uller space T\mathcal{T} under the period map Φ\Phi is an open submanifold of a globally Hermitian symmetric space WW of the same dimension as T\mathcal{T}. Finally, for Hyperk\"ahler manifold of dimension 2n42n \geq 4, we find both locally and globally defined families of (2,0)(2,0) and (2n,0)(2n,0)-classes over the Teichm\"uller space of polarized Hyperk\"ahler manifolds.
