K3 metrics from little string theory
arXiv:1810.10540
Abstract
Certain six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric little string theories, when compactified on , have moduli spaces of vacua given by smooth K3 surfaces. Using ideas of Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke, we show that this provides a systematic procedure for determining the Ricci-flat metric on a smooth K3 surface in terms of BPS degeneracies of (compactified) little string theories.
