Type IIA R4H4g−4R^4H^{4g-4} constrained-Eisenstein-series conjecture

About 27 years old · traced to

Let type IIA string theory be compactified on TdT^d with d≤4d\leq 4, let ϕ\phi be the T-duality-invariant dilaton, let HRRH_{RR} denote the Ramond three-form field strengths, and let M(S)M(\mathbf S) be the SO(d,d)SO(d,d) mass matrix in the spinor representation. Type IIA R4H4g−4R^4H^{4g-4} conjecture. The genus-gg coupling between four gravitons and 4g−44g-4 Ramond three-form field strengths is given by

I=∫d10−dx−γ ∑m^δ(m∧m)e6(g−1)ϕR4(m⋅HRR)4g−4(m⋅M(S)⋅m)3g−2.I=\int d^{10-d}x\sqrt{-\gamma}\,\widehat{\sum_m}\delta(m\wedge m)e^{6(g-1)\phi}\frac{R^4(m\cdot H_{RR})^{4g-4}}{(m\cdot M(\mathbf S)\cdot m)^{3g-2}}.

The restriction d≤4d\leq4 is explained by dualization of the field strengths in lower dimensions; the source gives no resolution evidence.
