Fivebrane instantons in Calabi-Yau compactifications

Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: We provide the last missing piece of the complete nonperturbative description of the low energy effective action emerging from Calabi-Yau compactifications of type II string theory---NS5-brane instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space ${\mathcal{M}}_{H}$. We find them using S-duality symmetry of the type IIB formulation. The result is encoded in a set of holomorphic functions on the twistor space of ${\mathcal{M}}_{H}$ and includes all orders of the instanton expansion.
