About the Kähler potential of Calabi–Yau 3-fold

77 Views Asked by At

Background:

In Calabi-Yau 3-fold, the Kähler metric is given in terms of the Kähler potential $\kappa$ :

$$ g_{i\bar{j}} = \partial_i \partial_{\bar{j}} \kappa,$$

where $i, \bar{j} = 1,2,3 $ ( the Holomorphic coordinates) . While the complex structure metric is given by:

$$ G_{a\bar{b}} = \partial_a \partial_{\bar{b}} \kappa,$$

where $ a, \bar{b} = 1, …, h_{2,1} $, where $ h_{2,1} $ is the number of complex structure moduli.

See for instance here. The Question:

  • first if I in 5d, $N=2$ supergravity, for instance, (after dimensional reduction from 11d SUGRA), can I find an explicit form for the Kähler potential?

  • Can I after that calculate $G_{a\bar{b}}$ and $ g_{i\bar{j}}$? And what about the degrees of freedom?

I mean for example, $N=1$, $D= 4$, SUGRA. See for instance: In this paper, the Kähler potential is given by

$$ \kappa = \phi_i \phi^{i *} $$

and the Kähler metric is given by:

$$ g_{i j^*} = \frac{\partial^2 \kappa}{\partial \phi_i \partial \phi_{j^*}},$$

where $\phi_i$ are scalar fields.

Any help appreciated!
