| contents | This is a light and short review on the geometry of hypermultiplets coupled to supergravity and its appearance in string theory. As is long known, the target space of the hypermultiplet sigma-model is a quaternion-Kähler (QK) manifold of negative scalar curvature. We review some aspects of hypermultiplet moduli spaces, but also study aspects of QK-geometries in relation to the swampland, including some concrete examples of swampland QK-manifolds. |
