Higher derivative couplings of hypermultiplets

Abstract: We construct the four-derivative supersymmetric extension of

(1, 0), 6 D

supergravity coupled to Yang-Mills and hypermultiplets. The hypermultiplet scalars are taken to parametrize the quaternionic projective space

H p (n) = S p (n, 1) / S p (n) i m e s S p (1)_{R}

. The hyperscalar kinetic term is not deformed, and the quaternionic K"ahler structure and symmetries of

H p (n)

are preserved. The result is a three parameter Lagrangian supersymmetric up to first order in these parameters. Considering the case of

H p (1)

we compare our result with that obtained from the compactification of

10 D

heterotic supergravity on four-torus, consistently truncated to

N = (1, 0)

, in which the hyperscalars parametrize

S O (4, 1) / S O (4)

. We find that depending on how

S p (1) s u b s e t S p (1, 1)

is embedded in

S O (4)

, the results agree for a specific value of the parameter that governs the higher derivative hypermultiplet couplings.
