S-duality and the universal isometries of q-map spaces (Q2165048)

In this very interesting article the authors investigate the S-duality action by isometries on any tree-level \(q\)-map space. In the main result of the first part of the paper, it is proven that any tree-level q-map metric admits an \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\)-action by isometries, and it is shown how it interacts with the previously known universal group of isometries. In particular it is worth mentioning that the previous universal group of isometries is enlarged to a \((3n+6)\)-dimensional group \(G\). In the second part of the paper, the authors revisit and treat from a mathematical point of view some basic results from the physics literature regarding the twistor space of the tree-level q-map space and the holomorphic lift of the \((3n+6)\)-dimensional group of universal isometries to the twistor space.
