The metric on hypermultiplet moduli space is in principle computable within the $(0,2)$ superconformal field theory on the heterotic string worldsheet, although little is known about it in practice. Using duality with type II strings compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold, we predict the form of the quaternion-Kähler metric on hypermultiplet moduli space when $\mathfrak{S}$ is elliptically fibered, in the limit of a large fiber and even larger base. The result is in general agreement with expectations from Kaluza-Klein reduction, in particular the metric has a two-stage fibration structure, where the $B$-field moduli are fibered over bundle and metric moduli, while bundle moduli are themselves fibered over metric moduli. A more precise match must await a detailed analysis of $R^2$-corrected ten-dimensional supergravity. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01006533/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01006533/file/Alexandrov2014_Article_N2Heterotic-typeIIDualityAndBu.pdf %L hal-01006533 %U https://hal.science/hal-01006533 %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ UPMC %~ CNRS %~ LPTHE %~ L2C %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM-2015-2021
