Protected couplings and BPS dyons in half-maximal supersymmetric string vacua

We analyze four- and six-derivative couplings in the low energy effective action of D=3 string vacua with half-maximal supersymmetry. In analogy with an earlier proposal for the (∇Φ)4 coupling, we propose that the ∇2(∇Φ)4 coupling is given exactly by a manifestly U-duality invariant genus-two modula...
