  2. N =2 gauge theories Integrability • TBA • Toda hierarchy • and c=1 string • Quantum integrability • wall-crossing • QK/HK • correspondence Fine mathematics Topological strings • mock modularity • cluster algebras NS5-instantons top. wave functions = Calabi-Yau compactifications

  3. The low-energy effective action is determined by the metric on the moduli spaceparameterized by scalars of vector and hypermultiplets Moduli space • –special Kähler (given by ) • is classically exact • (no corrections in string couplinggs) • –quaternion-Kähler • receives all types of gs-corrections known unknown The (concrete) goal: to find the non-perturbative geometry of Calabi-Yau compactifications The goal:to find the complete non-perturbative effective action in 4d for type II string theory compactified on arbitrary CY Type II string theory supergravity multiplet(metric) compactification on aCalabi-Yau vector multiplets(gauge fields & scalars) hypermultiplets(only scalars) N =2 supergravity in 4d coupled to matter

  4. In the image of the c-map (captured by the prepotential ) includes -corrections (perturbative + worldsheet instantons) Instantons – (Euclidean) world volumes wrapping non-trivial cycles of CY non-perturbative corrections perturbative corrections - corrections ● D-brane instantons one-loop correction controlled by ● NS5-brane instantons Antoniadis,Minasian,Theisen,Vanhove ’03, Robles-Llana,Saueressig,Vandoren ’06, S.A. ‘07 Quantum corrections Tree level HM metric + Axionic couplings break continuous isometries At the end no continuous isometries remain

  5. mirror SL(2,Z) mirror e/m duality mirror SL(2,Z) Beyond this line the projective superspace approach is not applicable anymore (not enough isometries) Twistor approach S.A.,Pioline,Saueressig,Vandoren ’08 Instanton corrections • 6 NS5 • 5 D4 • 4 × • 3 D2 • 2 × • 1 D0 • 0 × {D2, NS5} {α’, D(-1), D1, , D5, NS5} D3 • 6 D5,NS5 • 5 × • 4 D3 • 3 × • 2 D1 • 1 × • 0 D(-1) D3 {A-D2, B-D2} {α’, D(-1), D1, , D5} {A-D2} {α’, D(-1), D1} Robles-Llana,Roček, Saueressig,Theis, Vandoren ’06 {α’, 1-loop } using projective superspace approach

  6. is aKähler manifold • carriesholomorphic contact • structure • symmetries of can be lifted to • holomorphic symmetries of The geometry is determined by contact transformations between sets of Darboux coordinates Holomorphicity generated by holomorphic functions Twistor approach The problem: how to conveniently parametrize a QK manifold? Quaternionic structure: Twistor space quaternion algebra of almost complex structures t

Correspondence with integrable systems Expansion in the patches around the north and south poles: Generalizes the fact that hyperkähler spaces are complex integrable systems (Donagi,Witten ’95) Baker-Akhiezer function

Instanton corrections in Type IIB SL(2,Z) duality using S-duality S.A.,Banerjee ‘14 Robles-Llana,Roček,Saueressig, Theis,Vandoren ’06 Twistorial description: from mirror symmetry In the one-instanton approximation the mirror of the type IIA construction is consistent with S-duality requires technique ofmock modular forms Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of genus zero manifestly S-duality formulation is unknown S.A.,Saueressig, ’09 S.A.,Manschot,Pioline ‘12 Type IIB formulation must be manifestly invariant under S-duality group Quantum corrections in type IIB: • -corrections:w.s.inst. • pert. gs-corrections: • instanton corrections:D(-1) D1 D3 D5 NS5

  12. S-duality in twistor space Transformation property of the contact bracket Non-linear holomorphic representation of SL(2,Z)–duality group on Condition for to carry an isometric action of SL(2,Z) contact transformation S.A.,Banerjee ‘14 One must understand how S-duality is realized on twistor space and which constraints it imposes on the twistorial construction The idea:to add all images of the D-instanton contributions under S-dualitywith a non-vanishing 5-brane charge

  13. Encodes fivebrane instanton corrections to all orders of the instanton expansion Fivebrane instantons The input: ― D5-brane charge Apply SL(2,Z) transformation NS5-brane charge Compute fivebrane contact Hamiltonians • One can evaluate the action on Darboux coordinates • and write down the integral equations on twistor lines • The contact structure is invariant under full U-duality group
