Quantum Corrections to the Universal Hypermultiplet and Superspace

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We investigate quantum corrections to the effective action of the universal hypermultiplet in the language of projective superspace. We rederive the recently found one-loop correction to the universal hypermultiplet moduli space geometry. The deformed metric is described as a superspace action in terms of a single function, homogeneous of first degree. Our framework leads us to a natural proposal for the nonperturbative moduli space metric induced by five-brane instantons.
