Matter field Kähler metric in heterotic string theory from localisation
We propose an analytic method to calculate the matter field K\"ahler metric in heterotic compactifications on smooth Calabi-Yau three-folds with Abelian internal gauge fields. The matter field K\"ahler metric determines the normalisations of the ${\cal N}=1$ chiral superfields, which enter the computation of the physical Yukawa couplings. We first derive …
