N=2 String-String Duality and Holomorphic couplings

preprint1997arXivOpen access

Abstract

We review aspects of N=2 duality between the heterotic and the type IIA string. After a description of string duality intended for the non-specialist the computation of the heterotic prepotential and the F1F_1 function for the ST, STU and STUV model (V a Wilson line) and the matching with the Calabi-Yau instanton expansions are given in detail. Relations with BPS spectral sums in various connections are pointed out.
