Abstract
We discuss orientifold projections on superspace effective actions for hypermultiplets. We present
a simple and new mechanism that allows one to find the K¨ahler potential and complex structure
for the N = 1 theory directly in terms of the parent N = 2 theory. As an application, we
demonstrate our method for Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB superstrings.
