Partition Functions of Torsion > 1 Dyons in Heterotic String Theory on T 6

چکیده
The original proposal of Dijkgraaf, Verlinde and Verlinde for the quarter BPS dyon partition function in heterotic string theory on T 6 is known to correctly produce the degeneracy of dyons of torsion 1, ı.e. dyons for which gcd(Q ∧ P )=1. We propose a generalization of this formula for dyons of arbitrary torsion. Our proposal satisfies the constraints coming from S-duality invariance, wall crossing formula, black hole entropy and the gauge theory limit. Furthermore using our proposal we derive a general wall crossing formula that is valid even when both the decay products are non-primitive half-BPS dyons.

We propose a general set of constraints on the partition function of quarter BPS dyons in any N = 4 supersymmetric string theory by drawing insight from known examples, and study the consequences of this proposal. The main ingredients of our analysis are duality symmetries, wall crossing formula and black hole entropy. We use our analysis to constrain the dyon partition function for two hithert...

متن کاملS-duality Action on Discrete T-duality Invariants
In heterotic string theory compactified on T , the T-duality orbits of dyons of charge (Q,P ) are characterized by O(6, 22; R ) invariants Q, P 2 and Q · P together with a set of invariants of the discrete T-duality group O(6, 22; ZZ). We study the action of S-duality group on the discrete T-duality invariants and study its consequence for the dyon degeneracy formula. In particular we find that...
متن کاملH-Dyons and S-Duality
We present a relatively simple argument showing that the H-dyon states required by S-duality of the heterotic string on T 6 are present provided that the BPS dyons required by S-duality of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are present. We also conjecture and provide evidence that H-dyons at singularities where the nonperturbative gauge symmetry is completely broken are actually BPS dyons.
متن کاملSuperstrings with Intrinsic Torsion
We systematically analyse the necessary and sufficient conditions for the preservation of supersymmetry for bosonic geometries of the form R1,9−d ×Md, in the common NS-NS sector of type II string theory and also type I/heterotic string theory. The results are phrased in terms of the intrinsic torsion of G-structures and provide a comprehensive classification of static supersymmetric backgrounds...
