String Duality and Modular Forms

Tests of duality between heterotic strings onK3×T 2 (restricted on certain Narain moduli subspaces) and type IIA strings on K3-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds are attempted in the weak coupling regime on the heterotic side by identifying pertinent modular forms related to the computations of string threshold corrections. Concretely we discuss in parallel the three cases associated with Calabi-Yau...

Report on " Modular Forms and String Duality " (06w5041)

The workshop was a huge success. Altogether thirty-seven mathematicians and physicists converged at the BIRS for the five day workshop. There were 26 one hour talks presented. Some were introductory lectures by mathematicians designed to prepare physicists in modular forms, quasimodular forms, modularity of Galois representations, and toric geometry. Vice versa, introductory lectures by physici...

String Duality and Enumeration of Curves by Jacobi Forms

For a Calabi-Yau threefold admitting both a K3 fibration and an elliptic fibration (with some extra conditions) we discuss candidate asymptotic expressions of the genus 0 and 1 Gromov-Witten potentials in the limit (possibly corresponding to the perturbative regime of a heterotic string) where the area of the base of the K3 fibration is very large. The expressions are constructed by lifting pro...

String duality, automorphic forms, and generalized Kac-Moody algebras

finding the pole requires analytic continuation unless there are boundstates at threshhold in the sector Q1 + Q2. The residue of the pole must be expressed in terms of matrix elements with on-shell states. By charge conservation and the Bogomolnyi bound these states must be the BPS states in the superselection sectorQ1+Q2. Therefore the residue of the pole “factors through” the space of BPS sta...

Harmonic Maass Forms, Mock Modular Forms, and Quantum Modular Forms

This short course is an introduction to the theory of harmonic Maass forms, mock modular forms, and quantum modular forms. These objects have many applications: black holes, Donaldson invariants, partitions and q-series, modular forms, probability theory, singular moduli, Borcherds products, central values and derivatives of modular L-functions, generalized Gross-Zagier formulae, to name a few....
