string theory - Kähler Potential of Calabi-Yau volume


At tree level, the Kähler potential is given by (neglecting complex structure)


K=ln(i(τˉτ))2ln(VCY)


where VCY=16κabctatbtc ia the the two cycle volume.


In some literature this is written in form of Kähler moduli variables as VCY=i(ρa¯ρa)ta where ρ=b+iτ. τ here is 4 cycle modulus.


In some other literature this is given as VCY=3i(ρˉρ) where ρ=b+ie4u. u fixes the volume of Calabi-Yau.


So my question is are these two equivalent? Would the ρˉρ component of the Kähler metric be the same?
