The Symplectic Structure of N=2 Supergravity and its Central Extension

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We report on the formulation of N=2N=2 D=4D=4 supergravity coupled to nVn_V abelian vector multiplets in presence of electric and magnetic charges. General formulae for the (moduli dependent) electric and magnetic charges for the nV+1n_V+1 gauge fields are given which reflect the symplectic structure of the underlying special geometry. The specification to Type IIB strings compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds, with gauge group U(1)h21+1U(1)^{h_{21}+1} is given.
