abstract

We discuss several implications of R^4 couplings in M theory when compactified on Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds. In particular, these couplings can be predicted by supersymmetry from the mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons couplings in five dimensions and are related to the one-loop holomorphic anomaly in four-dimensional N=2 theories. We find a new contribution to the Einstein term in five dimensions proportional to the Euler number of the internal CY threefold, which corresponds to a one-loop correction of the hypermultiplet geometry. This correction is reproduced by a direct computation in type II string theories. Finally, we discuss a universal non-perturbative correction to the type IIB hyper-metric.

Extended Supergravity Needs String Scale Cut-off

hep-th · 2026-06-15 · conditional · novelty 5.0

String-scale UV cut-off in the gravitational path integral removes string-coupling dependence from the BPS black hole index in extended supergravity, matching supersymmetry expectations for zero-Euler-number cases.
