BCOV in their famous paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9309140) state the genus one holomorphic anomaly equation (on page 53) to be ∂i∂ˉjF1=12CiklˉCklˉj+(1−χ24)Giˉj
where
Cijk is the 3 point function or Yukawa coupling on Calabi-Yau moduli space,
ˉCklˉj=e2KˉCˉaˉbˉjGkˉaGlˉc,
K being the Kahler potential for the Weil-Pietersson metric on CY moduli space.
In an earlier paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9302103v1.pdf) on page 14 they claim that F1=log[exp(3+h1,1−χ12)Kdet[G−1]|f(z)|2]
with
f(z) a holomorphic function.
However this does not seem to check out. Taking a holomorhic and anti-holomorphic derivative on the above solution and using the "special geometry relation" (a relation expressing the curvature in terms of the metric and 3-point function) I get a similar equation, but not exactly the same as the BCOV equation above. In particular, there seems to be no way to get rid of the appearance of the Hodge number h1,1. What seems to be the problem?
