19 May 2016 | | Abstract: | We study D3-instanton corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space in type
IIB string theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In a previous work,
consistency of D3-instantons with S-duality was established at first order in
the instanton expansion, using the modular properties of the M5-brane elliptic
genus. We extend this analysis to the two-instanton level, where wall-crossing
phenomena start playing a role. We focus on the contact potential, an analogue
of the Kahler potential which must transform as a modular form under S-duality.
We show that it can be expressed in terms of a suitable modification of the
partition function of D4-D2-D0 BPS black holes, constructed out of the
generating function of MSW invariants (the latter coincide with
Donaldson-Thomas invariants in a particular chamber). Modular invariance of the
contact potential then requires that, in case where the D3-brane wraps a
reducible divisor, the generating function of MSW invariants must transform as
a vector-valued mock modular form, with a specific modular completion built
from the MSW invariants of the constituents. Physically, this gives a powerful
constraint on the degeneracies of BPS black holes. Mathematically, our result
gives a universal prediction for the modular properties of Donaldson-Thomas
invariants of pure two-dimensional sheaves. | | Source: | arXiv, 1605.5945 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
