Calabi-Yau metrics from superspace.
Abstract
A formula for hyperkahler metrics is derived using superspace techniques. These metrics are Kahler, Ricci flat and have dimension a multiple of 4. Thus they satisfy the Vacuum Einstein equations and are analogs of the manifolds favored for superstring compactification. Hyperkahler metrics are also solutions to the three level equation of motion for the superstring.
