Abstract. We review recent progress in understanding non-perturbative instanton corrections
to the hypermultiplet moduli space in type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds.
1. Introduction
In recent years it has become clear that non-perturbative effects are an important ingredient for
building semi-realistic models connecting string theory to four-dimensional low energy physics.
A setup where one might hope to understand such effects in detail is type II string theory
compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold (CY). In this case the low energy physics is captured
by a N = 2, d = 4 supergravity action and it is conceivable that the constraints coming from
string dualities and supersymmetry suffice to determine the perturbative and non-perturbative
corrections to the low energy effective action (LEEA), cf. Figure 1.
The classical LEEA can be obtained by carrying out a Kaluza-Klein reduction of ten-
dimensional type II supergravity on a CY. The resulting massless modes organize themselves
into a supergravity multiplet, nV vector multiplets (VM) and nH hypermultiplets (HM). N = 2
supersymmetry implies that the total moduli space M of these theories factorizes into a local
productM = MVM?MHM where MVM and MHM are parameterized by the scalars of the VM
and HM, respectively. Furthermore, MVM must be special Ka?hler, i.e., there is a holomorphic
prepotential F from which the Ka?hler potential K on MVM can be derived. The hypermultiplet
sector MHM has to be quaternion-Ka?hler which generically implies that the metric on MHM
