Abstract
We construct the Siegel modular forms associated with the theta lift of twisted elliptic genera of orbifolded with corresponding to the conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group . We complete the construction for all the classes which belong to and two other classes outside the subgroup . For this purpose we provide the explicit expressions for all the twisted elliptic genera in all the sectors of these classes. We show that the Siegel modular forms satisfy the required properties for them to be generating functions of BPS dyons of type II string theories compactified on and orbifolded by which acts as a automorphism on together with a shift on a circle of . In particular the inverse of these Siegel modular forms admit a Fourier expansion with integer coefficients together with the…

Dyon degeneracies from Mathieu moonshine
Aradhita Chattopadhyaya, Justin R. David
Abstract
We construct the Siegel modular forms associated with the theta lift of twisted elliptic genera of orbifolded with corresponding to the conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group . We complete the construction for all the classes which belong to and two other classes outside the subgroup . For this purpose we provide the explicit expressions for all the twisted elliptic genera in all the sectors of these classes. We show that the Siegel modular forms satisfy the required properties for them to be generating functions of BPS dyons of type II string theories compactified on and orbifolded by which acts as a automorphism on together with a shift on a circle of . In particular the inverse of these Siegel modular forms admit a Fourier expansion with integer coefficients together with the right sign as predicted from black hole physics. Our analysis completes the construction of the partition function for dyons as well as the twisted elliptic genera for all the CHL compactifications.
1 Introduction
The partition function of BPS dyons for string compactifications have been studied extensively. Starting from the original proposal Dijkgraaf:1996it for the degeneracy of dyons in heterotic string theory on and the study of its asymptotic property LopesCardoso:2004law , it has been generalized to certain CHL compactifications Jatkar:2005bh . The degeneracy of dyons can be obtained from the Fourier coefficients of the inverse of an appropriate Siegel modular forms or its subgroup. For the case of the heterotic string on , it is the Igusa cusp form of weight 10 which is the theta lift or the multiplicative lift of the elliptic genus of . The elliptic genus of plays a role in the degeneracy since the counting of these BPS states is done in the type II picture which is compactified on David:2006yn ; Shih:2005uc . For the case of CHL compactifications Chaudhuri:1995fk considered it turns out that the Siegel modular forms are theta lifts of the twisted elliptic genus of David:2006ji ; Dabholkar:2006xa . This is because the CHL compactifications are dual to where the orbifold acts as an order Nikulin’s automorphism Nikulin on together with a shift on one of the circles of Chaudhuri:1995dj ; Aspinwall:1995fw . The construction so far has been for the case of CHL models, that is out of the CHL models.
With the discovery of Mathieu moonshine in Eguchi:2010ej , it has been seen admits 26 twining elliptic genera corresponding to the conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group . Before we proceed let us define the twisted elliptic genus of by an automorphism of order , given by
[TABLE]
Here the trace is taken over the Ramond-Ramond sector of the superconformal field theory of with central charge and is the fermion number. The CFT is orbifolded by the action of , a automorphism. The values run from [math] to . For belonging to the conjugacy classes of only the twining character has been constructed in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch . The names of these classes and the corresponding cycle and the cycle shape are listed in tables 1 and 2. The order of the corresponding automorphism in is also listed. For the conjugacy classes , the twisted elliptic genera in all the sectors was given earlier in David:2006ji . These genera are obtained by orbifolding the by which is an order automorphism. The Siegel modular forms which capture the degeneracy of BPS states in the theories obtained by type II compactified on the orbifold have also been constructed in David:2006ji . The most direct method of constructing these Siegel modular forms is thorough the theta lift of the corresponding twisted elliptic genus of . For this purpose it is necessary to know the Fourier expansion of the twisted elliptic genus in all its sectors. In this paper we extend this construction of Siegel modular forms to the other conjugacy classes of . The construction is carried out for all classes in table 1 and for the first two classes in table 2. We also demonstrate that the inverse of these Siegel modular forms have the required properties to be generating functions of BPS states of type II string compactified on orbifolds of by on corresponding to these conjugacy classes together with a shift of on one of the circles of . See Sen:2007qy ; Dabholkar:2012zz for reviews. Our main objective is to study the Fourier expansion of the resulting Siegel modular forms and observe that their coefficients are integers as well as positive in accordance with the conjecture of Sen:2010mz .
As we have remarked the first step towards constructing the Siegel modular form obtained as a theta lift of the twisted elliptic genus of is the knowledge of the Fourier expansion in all the sectors . Other than the conjugacy classes only the twining character is known. To obtain the other sectors we use the following transformation property of the twisted elliptic genus under modular transformation
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
In (2) the indices and belong to mod . For example the sector on the LHS of (2) is related to the sector its arguments is evaluated at . However this is not sufficient, since we require a Fourier expansion of the sector to construct the theta lift, in fact we need further relations to express the the expansion in terms of in terms ordinary expansions. We find several identities involving modular forms of which will enable us to perform this explicitly in this paper. For prime this procedure is enough to determine all the sectors of the twisted elliptic genus. But, when is composite it is not possible to relate all the sectors to the sector by modular transformation. The various sectors of the twisted elliptic genus break up into sub-orbits under the action of modular transformations. For example for the class with in table 1, the sectors form a sub-orbit and cannot be related to . We determine the twisted elliptic genus in these sub-orbits using its correspondence with the cycle shape of . This correspondence is sufficient to determine the complete twisted elliptic genus for all the classes given in table 1.
Among the classes in table 2, we construct the twisted elliptic genus for classes and . The cycle shape of conjugacy classes belonging to this table is such that one cannot use it to determine the twisted elliptic genus in the sub-orbits. For example squaring the cycle in the class leads to the identity. In Gaberdiel:2013psa , an explicit rational CFT consisting of , WZW models at level in which the orbifold can be performed was introduced. This construction enables the evaluation of the twisted elliptic genus in all the sectors. The twisted elliptic genus exhibits the following property which is known as ‘quantum symmetry’. This essentially means that the sum of the twisted elliptic genus in all its sectors vanishes. For example for the case of which is an order action in quantum symmetry implies the equality
[TABLE]
Using this symmetry we obtain the twisted elliptic genus for the in all the sectors.
At this point it is important to mention the the Gaberdiel:2012gf also constructs the twisted elliptic genus for all the orbifolds considered in this paper as well as orbifolds by non-cyclic groups. A detailed comparison of our work with Gaberdiel:2012gf will made in section 2.4. But we remark here that the explicit expressions that we derive here are not found in the main body of Gaberdiel:2012gf .
We then construct and determine the weights of the Siegel modular form . obtained from the theta lift of the twisted elliptic genus corresponding to the conjugacy classes in table (1) and the first two classes in table (2). We study the factorization property on divisors as . This enables us to obtain the asymptotic degeneracies of BPS black holes of large charges in type II string theory compactified on the orbifold including the sub-leading corrections. Using the analysis in David:2006ud , we see the sub-leading corrections agree precisely with that obtained using the entropy function method including the Gauss-Bonnet term in these theories. We also obtain the degeneracies of BPS states of these theories which are either purely electric or magnetic. Finally we explicitly evaluate the degeneracies of the low charge dyons in these states using these Siegel modular forms by extracting out the respective Fourier coefficients. This is given by the expression
[TABLE]
where is a contour in the complex 3-plane which we will define. refer to the electric and magnetic charge of the dyons in the heterotic frame. We emphasize that the evaluation of the degeneracy for low charge dyons is possible only due to the explicit knowledge of the twisted elliptic genus in all its sectors. A subset of these Fourier coefficients represent single centered black holes. From the fact that the single centered black holes carry zero angular momentum, it is conjectured that the sign of is positive Sen:2010mz . We verify this prediction for low charge dyons. All these properties of indicate that they capture the degeneracy of dyons in theories compactified on orbifolds where acts as an order automorphism in together with a shift on one of the circles of . The construction of Siegel modular forms for the cases of composite order in table 1 together with the earlier construction of the Siegel modular forms for the classes completes the study of the spectrum of BPS dyons in all the CHL compactifications introduced in Chaudhuri:1995dj ; Chaudhuri:1995fk .
Again here we remark the construction of the modular forms given the twisted elliptic genus is quite straight forward and our method is the extension of the method first introduced for cyclic orbifolds in David:2006ud . Recently this construction has been extended for non-cyclic orbifolds in Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb . However to our knowledge that the observation of positivity of the Fourier coefficients of the inverse of which is in agreement with the conjecture of Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb for all the orbifolds considered in this paper is new. This observation has been made possible by the careful construction of all the twisted elliptic genera performed in section 2. It is also important to note that a proof for the positivity conjecture of Sen:2010mz has been made only for the case of a class of Fourier coefficients of the partition function by Bringmann:2012zr . A general proof of the positivity conjecture for as well as all the cyclic orbifolds considered in this paper is an open question.
The organization of the paper is follows: In section 2, we construct the twisted elliptic genus for different orbifolds of in each sector, We first discuss the orbifolds of corresponding to the classes in table 1 and then move on to the classes and of table 2. In section 3, we use the twisted elliptic genus to construct the Siegel modular forms that capture degeneracies of BPS dyons of type II theories compactified on where acts as a order automorphism on together with a shift on one of the circles of . We show that low lying coefficients of the BPS index are positive as expected from black hole considerations in section 3.1. Appendix A lists various identities relating modular forms involving expansions in to . Finally appendix B lists the twisted elliptic genus for the and the conjugacy class.
2 Twisted Elliptic Genus
In this section we construct the twisted elliptic genus of the conjugacy classes in table 1 and then for the classes of and from table 2. Among the classes in table 1, the complete elliptic genus for the classes with were given in David:2006ji . To quote the result we first define
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Under transformation transforms as a weak Jacobi form of weight 0 and index 1 and transforms as a weak Jacobi form of weight and index 1. Now transforms as a modular form of weight under the group . Its transformations under and transformations of are given by
[TABLE]
Then the twisted elliptic genera in all the sectors for the classes with are given by
[TABLE]
Note that is defined up to mod . Here corresponding to the classes respectively. Let us discuss the low lying coefficients in the expansion of which is given by
[TABLE]
Then it is easy to see from (9) that the low lying coefficients satisfy the following property
[TABLE]
The above set of equations corresponds to the number of forms of the orbifold of . As expected, these are the same as , since the orbifold preserves these forms David:2006ud . The and forms are holomorphic forms which are required to be preserved if Type II theory compactified on the orbifold needs to be a theory. The orbifold preserves the [math]-form as well as the top-form of . In fact the twisted elliptic genus satisfies the stronger property
[TABLE]
Now we can also see that
[TABLE]
The last equation corresponds to the number of the forms which are reduced from the value of to for respectively. Finally the orbifold action for all these classes on produces another . Therefore, the elliptic genus of should be the same as that of . This implies that we should obtain
[TABLE]
Substituting the expressions for the twisted elliptic genus given in (9), we see that this is ensured by the following identity satisfied by for prime.
[TABLE]
We will first focus on the classes with prime orders, and and obtain the twisted elliptic genera for these cases. We then move to the classes with composite order . All cases with composite orders involve sub-orbits in the sectors of the twisted elliptic genus. To determine the twisted elliptic genus in these sub-orbits we use its correspondence with the cycle structure in . Finally we discuss the cases of which are automorphisms of order respectively. For these cases we use quantum symmetry to determine the twisted elliptic genus in the sub-orbits.
2.1 The conjugacy class and
11A class
The twining character for this class was determined in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch , it is given by 111We have multiplied the twining character in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch by . The reason for this normalization will be explained subsequently.
[TABLE]
To determine the twisted elliptic genus in all the sectors we will use the transformation law given in (2). Since are weak Jacobi forms under it is the transformation property of the forms and in (8) under which allows us to move to the other sectors.
It is first useful to show that for all . It is important to point out if this fact is assumed for prime then the construction of all the sectors proceeds very straight forwardly using modular transformations. However as we will see we can prove the equality , this will involve several steps. For this we will need the following identities obeyed by the Dedekind -function and for odd.
[TABLE]
Note that the first equation is a simple consequence of the definition of the function in its product form. The second equation can be obtained using the first equation and the definition (7).
First let us show . Since we will have to keep track of how the factor and transforms under , let us label these coefficients in the twisted elliptic genus in terms of the sector it occurs. Let
[TABLE]
Now under an transformation we know that from (2) we obtain the sector or the sector. Therefore using the transformation in (8), we obtain
[TABLE]
We label the coefficients
[TABLE]
Now from the sector we can obtain the sector by a transformation and it results in
[TABLE]
An equation identical to the above exists for the sectors . Thus the coefficients
[TABLE]
Let us now move to the sectors. For this we begin with and perform the transformation. From (2) we see that we can obtain sector. The transformation also relates and the conclusions we obtain for the sector also holds for the sector. This sector will have the coefficients of given by
[TABLE]
However, this is not useful, since we would like to obtain a expansion for these twisted sectors. We will establish the identity
[TABLE]
This enables us to perform the expansion in these sectors. To begin, we see that using the transformations under and (8) we obtain
[TABLE]
We can use the the identity (18) to remove the shift by . This leads to
[TABLE]
Using the transformation on the LHS of (27) leads us to
[TABLE]
Substituting the above equation into (26) we obtain
[TABLE]
In the last line we have again used the identity (18) with replaced by . Therefore using (29) we see that the first identity in equation (25) is true. Exactly a similar manipulation involving but using (17) to remove shifts by will enable us to prove the second equation in (25). Thus we obtain the relation
[TABLE]
Now using the transformation and the fact that is prime we can obtain all the twisted sectors as well as .
To show that , we start with (30) and perform a transformation to both sides of the equation using (2). Then we obtain and thus by a transformation we see that .
Similar manipulations allow us to obtain all the other sectors. Let us briefly go over one more case. We start with which can be obtained by performing a transformation. Thus the coefficient of the term is given by
[TABLE]
Lets do the transformation on with will take us to either or and the coefficient of the term in this sector contains
[TABLE]
Therefore using the same set of manipulations we see that . Therefore by a first and then an action we can show . Using these steps we obtain the relations among different sectors as given in the following chart.
Going through these steps we obtain the following formula for the twisted elliptic genus for .
[TABLE]
The low lying values of the twisted elliptic genus for the case satisfies
[TABLE]
Thus type II compactifications on such the orbifold where acts as the automorphism on together with a shift on one of the circles of preserves supersymmetry. Note that the normalization of multiplying the twining character given in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch by is to ensure the condition given in (34). However the number of forms preserved by the orbifold vanishes as
[TABLE]
Thus even the Kähler form of is projected out, which implies this orbifold is not geometric. We can evaluate the elliptic genus of the orbifold of , the result is given by
[TABLE]
We have verified this equation by performing a -expansion of both the left hand side as well as the right hand side. The fact that the elliptic genus of the orbifold of satisfies this identity implies that the orbifold of is itself.
The structure of all the twisted sectors is similar to that seen in the cases in (9). In fact for the cases in , if one is given just the twining elliptic genus we can obtain the complete twisted elliptic genus using the same manipulations discussed for the .
23A/B class
The twining characters for the conjugacy classes 23A and 23B are identical and was determined in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch . It is given by
[TABLE]
We can use the same procedure as discussed for the class in the previous section to determine the twisted elliptic genus in all the sectors. Essentially we use the transformation law given in (2) to move to twisted elliptic genus in the other sectors from the sector. As discussed in the previous section we need identities satisfied by the modular forms , and to express the expansion in terms of in terms of a the usual expansion. Note that all these transform as modular forms under . The identities analogous to equation (29) can be found by similar manipulations. The new form under has been constructed in zagier ; link which involves Hecke eigenforms. A closed formula for in terms of functions is provided in the ancillary files associated with Gaberdiel:2012gf . This is given by
[TABLE]
It can be seen that from (38) that the transformation of is given by
[TABLE]
To obtain the expansion of the various sectors of the twisted elliptic genus we need the following identities to be satisfied by .
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
A similar analysis given in the previous section can be used to prove these identities. We have not done this, but have numerically verified these identities. Again following a similar analysis to given in the previous section we have shown that the modular form as well as obey the identities (40) and (43). Therefore combining the modular transformation obeyed by the twisted elliptic genus (2) as well as the identities in (40) and (43) we obtain the twisted elliptic genus of the conjugacy class . The result is given by
[TABLE]
The low lying coefficients of this twisted elliptic genus satisfy
[TABLE]
As we have discussed earlier, this implies that type II compactifications on the orbifold preserves supersymmetry. We also have
[TABLE]
When the RHS side of this equation is a positive integer, it corresponds to the number of forms preserved by the orbifold. Here, we obtain a result which is a negative integer, the orbifold is therefore not geometric. Just as in the case of the orbifold, the elliptic genus of orbifold reduces to that of . This can be seen by showing the twisted elliptic genera of the orbifold satisfies
[TABLE]
We have verified this identity by substituting the twisted elliptic genus from (44) and performing the expansion on both sides of the above equation.
2.2 Automorphisms with composite order and
Let us consider automorphisms with composite order and those which belong to . Examples of these are the classes given in table 1. When the order of the automorphism is composite, we cannot use the modular transformation in (2) to arrive at all the sectors of the twisted elliptic genus started from the twining character. For example for the case of which is of the order we cannot reach the sectors starting from the twining character . We call these sectors sub-orbits. In general if the order admits a factorization
[TABLE]
then there is a sub-orbit for each divisor. Since the sub-orbits are not accessible by modular transformations from the twining character one needs to make a choice of a particular character in these sectors. To be more specific, consider the sub-orbit corresponding to the divisor we need to make a choice for the character
[TABLE]
We will see in all the cases for composite orders with , we will see that from the cycle shape of corresponds to a conjugacy class of order . Therefore by appealing to Mathieu moonshine symmetry we can choose for , the twining character corresponding to the conjugacy class with the cycle structure of . We show that with these choices we can complete the construction of the twisted elliptic genera for the remaining conjugacy classes in table 1.
class
The twining character for the conjugacy class is given by
[TABLE]
Since the modular forms involved in the twining character is in , the order of the automorphism corresponding to the class is . Therefore the sectors are not accessible using modular transformations. Now the cycle shape of in this class is given by and the cycle shape of is given by . From table 1 we see that this cycle shape coincides with the conjugacy class . Therefore we choose for the twisted elliptic genus in the sector to be identical to be the the twisting character of the conjugacy class. The choice of normalization is because we are in an order conjugacy class. We will also show that this normalization results in the expected values for the low lying coefficients of the elliptic genus. Similarly sectors and the of the conjugacy class coincide with the twisted sectors and of the class. The rest of the sectors can be determined by using the relation (2) and identities relating expansions in to . For this we need the following identities
[TABLE]
One can prove these identities using the the definition of in (7) together with the first equation of (17). The identities in (51) allow us to obtain the or the sector from the using a similar analysis followed in section 2.1. The result for the twisted elliptic genus using these inputs is given by
[TABLE]
Note that sector is the twining character given by Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch for the conjugacy class. Using this, the modular transformation property (2) and the relations in (51) we obtain the sectors . Finally the sectors belong to the sub-orbit which can be identified with the class. Note the twisted elliptic genus for this sub-orbit is of that twisted elliptic genus for the class. It is interesting to note that our result in (2) for the twisted elliptic genus coincides with that obtained in Govindarajan:2009qt . This was obtained prior to the discovery of the symmetry. The approach followed in Govindarajan:2009qt involved writing down the possible and forms allowed in the sectors and constraining the coefficients using topological data.
Let us now evaluate the low lying coefficients of the elliptic genus We have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
This equation implies that the number of forms due to the orbifolding is down to from of the . This agrees with the analysis of Chaudhuri:1995dj which studies the orbifold of dual to the CHL compactification. We can therefore identify the compactification of type II on where is the automorphism to be dual to the heterotic CHL compactification. Let us now evaluate the full elliptic genus of orbifolded by the automorphism. This is given by
[TABLE]
To show this we substitute the twisted elliptic genus given in (2) along with the identity in (15) and finally use the relation
[TABLE]
6A class
The twining character for th conjugacy class is given by
[TABLE]
From this, it is easy to see that that automorphism is of the order , which admits and as non-trivial divisors. Therefore there are 2 independent sub-orbits of orders and respectively. These sub-orbits cannot be accessed using modular transformations from the sector. The sub-orbits are the following twisted sectors
[TABLE]
Now to determine the twisted elliptic genus in the sub-orbit , first examine the sector. The cycle shape of for the conjugacy class can be read out from the table 1 and is given by . The cycle shape of for is given by which is identical to that cycle shape of the conjugacy class . Therefore we take the twisted elliptic genus of for the sub-orbit to be of the twisted elliptic genera of the class. Similarly for the sub-orbit the cycle shape is obtained by looking at which is . This coincides with the cycle structure of the conjugacy class. Therefore for the twisted elliptic genera of the sub-orbit we can take the twisted elliptic genera of the conjugacy class.
The sectors other than the sub-orbits and can be reached using the transformation given in (2). Again to convert expansions in to expansions in we need the following identity obtained by using (7) and the first equation of (17).
[TABLE]
Lets illustrate this in obtaining the or the sectors from the sector. First using the transformation on the twining character in (57) we obtain the sector which is given by
[TABLE]
Then using transformation we can reach the sector, which is given by
[TABLE]
We can now use the transformation, to obtain the or the sectors. It is easy to see from the argument of in (2) we will require the identity in (59) to perform the transformation. The relations we need are
[TABLE]
This results in the following expression for the or the sector
[TABLE]
From the sector by performing the and then the transformation we can reach the sector and again we will require the use of the identity (59) as well as
[TABLE]
Finally from the sector by transformations we can reach the sector as well as the sector.
Using all these inputs the sectors of the twisted elliptic genus for are given by
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
The low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genus is given by
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Therefore the number of forms is . This agrees with Chaudhuri:1995dj which studies the orbifold of dual to the CHL compactification. We therefore identify the compactification of type II on where is the automorphism to be dual to the heterotic CHL compactification. The full elliptic genus of orbifolded by the automorphism. is given by
[TABLE]
Thus the result of the orbifold of is itself.
8A class
The twining character for the conjugacy class is given by
[TABLE]
Therefore the automorphism in is of the order , this admits and as non-trivial divisors. The independent sub-orbits are of the length and respectively. From table 1, the cycle shape of the conjugacy class for is given by . The cycle shape of is which is identical to the conjugacy class. The sectors of the twisted elliptic genus belonging to this sub-orbit of order
[TABLE]
Since the already has a sub-orbit of order which coincides with the sub-orbit of of the conjugacy class we do not need to consider this sub-orbit independently. Thus the twisted sectors in this sub-orbit is taken to be that of the conjugacy class given in (2). The rest of the sectors can be determined by using the modular transformation (2) and the identity
[TABLE]
Going through a similar analysis as in the case of we obtain
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
where .
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Finally the low lying coefficients of this orbifold satisfy
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The above equation implies that the number of forms is which agrees with the orbifold dual to the CHL compactification Chaudhuri:1995dj . The full elliptic genus of orbifolded by the automorphism. is given by
[TABLE]
Thus the elliptic genus of the orbifold of is itself.
We have seen that the orbifold by the , and the conjugacy class can be identified with type II on orbifolds dual to CHL compactifications of the heterotic string respectively. Therefore with the result for the twisted elliptic genus for these cases along with the twisted elliptic genus for the cases with completes the analysis of the twisted elliptic genus for all the CHL compactifications discussed in Chaudhuri:1995dj .
There are remaining conjugacy classes in table (1). These are the and the conjugacy classes. The construction for the twisted elliptic genus for these classes proceeds along similar lines as that discussed for the composite orders. The result is given in appendix B.
2.3 Automorphisms with composite order and
The conjugacy classes listed in table 2 are all of composite orders. Therefore they admit sub-orbits under the action of . However the cycle shape in the sub-orbit is not unique enough to determine the twisted elliptic genus. For instance consider the conjugacy class in table 2, squaring leads to a the cycle shape of the identity class. Recently Gaberdiel:2013psa constructed an explicit rational conformal field theory consisting of WZW models at level 1 which realizes . The action of the orbifold by belonging to the conjugacy class is explicitly realized in this CFT. It was observed that this orbifold satisfied the property called ‘quantum symmetry’
[TABLE]
In this section starting from the twining characters for the and conjugacy class given in Gaberdiel:2013psa we determine all the sectors of the twisted elliptic genus. This is done by assuming quantum symmetry together with the following condition on the low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genus
[TABLE]
where order is for the and conjugacy class respectively. As we have discussed earlier, the above condition on the low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genus ensures that the type II theory compactified on preserves supersymmetry.
Twisted elliptic genus of 2B
An explicit realization of the orbifold of was given in Gaberdiel:2013psa in which is realized a rational CFT consisting of WZW models at level . Rather than use this realization, we will start from the twining character given in Cheng:2010pq ; Eguchi:2010fg ; Gaberdiel:2010ch for the conjugacy class
[TABLE]
Note that this is distinct from the classes belonging to table 1 in that it does not have any component of the weak Jacobi form . It is clear form the structure of the twining character, the automorphism is or the order . Using the modular transformations (2) together with the identities in (51), we can determine the elliptic genus in the following sectors to be given by
[TABLE]
The remaining sectors belong to a sub-orbit. To determine the structure of the elliptic genus in this sub-orbit let us first focus on the sector. We assume that is a weak Jacobi form. Thus it can be written as
[TABLE]
where are undetermined constants. Now the sectors and can be determined using the modular transformations (2) to be
[TABLE]
Imposing the equations (82) and (83) we obtain
[TABLE]
To summarize the twisted elliptic genus for the conjugacy class is given by
[TABLE]
We have also evaluated the complete twisted elliptic genus using the explicit rational CFT realization of this orbifold in Gaberdiel:2013psa and have verified that it agrees with that given in (89). Evaluating the low lying coefficient corresponding to the invariant forms of we obtain
[TABLE]
Therefore, as expected the orbifold corresponding to the conjugacy class is non-geometric.
Twisted elliptic genus of 3B
Among the conjugacy classes in table 2) the class can also be completely determined using the quantum symmetry (82) and the supersymmetry condition (83). The twining character in this class is given by
[TABLE]
From the modular properties of the function it is clear that the automorphism is of order . The following sectors
[TABLE]
forms a sub-orbit under modular transformations. The remaining sectors can be obtained from the twining character in (91) by using the transformation (2), together with the modular properties of the function. Once that is obtained we assume the following Jacobi weak form of for the sector of the (92).
[TABLE]
Here are undetermined constants. Then using modular transformation (2) and the identities in (124) for we can obtain the twisted elliptic genus in the sub-orbit. Finally imposing the conditions (82) and (83) we determine the constants as
[TABLE]
Using all these steps we obtain the twisted elliptic genus for the conjugacy class to be given by
[TABLE]
The number of forms is given by consider the following low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genus
[TABLE]
Again the orbifold of by the conjugacy class is non-geometric.
The rest of the conjugacy classes in table (2) have more than one sub-orbits. quantum symmetry given in (82) and the supersymmetry condition (83) is not enough to determine the unknown constants in these sub-orbits. It will be interesting to determine the twisted elliptic genera for all the remaining conjugacy classes of table 2.
2.4 Comparision with literature
As remarked earlier the work of Gaberdiel:2012gf provides the mathematical justification for the construction of the twisted elliptic genus over for all the cyclic orbifolds considered in this paper. To compare with the results of this paper, let us briefly review their construction. Let be the cyclic orbifold corresponding to the conjugacy class of with order . Then the twisted elliptic genus admits the following decomposition in terms of the characters of the superconformal algebra with central charge
[TABLE]
Note that except when for which both and are understood to be present in the sum. The vector space is finite dimensional and is the projective representation of the centralizer which satisfies properties detailed in Gaberdiel:2012gf . Thus the problem of determining the twisted twining elliptic genera reduces to determining characters of the projective representations. Though not easy to extract from the ancillary files provided along with Gaberdiel:2012gf , a careful examination of the files lists out some of the twisted twining elliptic genera for the orbifolds considered in the paper. Notably it is only the sector which is listed out in the ancillary files. The files also enable the evaluation of the characters of the projective representations and a verification of the expansion of the twisted elliptic genera as given in (97). However explicit expressions such as that given in equations (9), (33), (65) - (2) are not listed in the main body of the paper 222 We have been informed by Mathias Gaberdiel that these explicit expressions were known to the authors of Gaberdiel:2012gf however they did not write them out in the body of their paper.. To arrive at these reasonably compact expressions we had to perform modular transformations and use identities such as (29), (40), (59). These identities were demonstrated for all the cases except for the orbifold by the class . Let us also emphasize that the sector which are provided in the ancillary files associated with Gaberdiel:2012gf are the simplest to obtain by modular transformations. We have also not made any assumption that the sector is the same as the sector for and prime, but have arrived at it as a consequence of the identities derived in this paper as can be seen from the detailed discussion of the case of class.
Note that explict formulae for the twisted elliptic genera for orbifolds with were known even before the discovery of moonshine symmetry in David:2006ji and before the work of Gaberdiel:2012gf . Since the latter paper as well the present work uses modular transformations (2) to obtain the twisted elliptic genera we are assured that both the constructions agree. In our discussion we have also explicitly compared the low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genera for the case of orbifolds with the Hodge numbers of the CHL compactifications discussed in Chaudhuri:1995fk ; Chaudhuri:1995dj and found agreement. The check that sum over all the sectors of the orbifolds when yields back the elliptic genus of was also performed in Gaberdiel:2012gf as can be read from the discussion in the text 333See discussion in the beginning of section 4. of Gaberdiel:2012gf .. In this work this is assured by the identities of the kind given (15).
As we have discussed earlier, when the order of the orbifold is composite, there are sub-orbits in the twisted sectors which cannot be reached by modular transformations from the twining character. We have used moonshine symmetry to determine the twisted elliptic genus in these sectors. The treatment of such situations in Gaberdiel:2012gf is more general. Their discussion also encompasses orbifolds by non-cyclic groups. Though not treated explicitly, the case of the cyclic orbifolds is implicit in their discussion 444We thank Mathias Gaberdiel for correspondence which enabled us to compare our work with Gaberdiel:2012gf ..
3 BPS dyon partition functions
Given the twisted elliptic genus one can construct a Siegel modular form as follows David:2006ud . The twisted elliptic genus can be expanded as
[TABLE]
Then a Siegel modular form associated with the twisted elliptic genus is given by
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Evaluating for the twisted elliptic genus corresponding to all the conjugacy classes considered in the previous section as well as the classes with we obtain
[TABLE]
Here is the order of the orbifold action. This Siegel modular form in (3) transforms as a weight form under appropriate sub-groups of . The weight is related to the low lying coefficients of the twisted elliptic genus and is given by
[TABLE]
The weights of the Siegel modular forms corresponding to the twisted elliptic genera constructed in this paper is listed in table 4 and 5.
Now consider type II theory compactified on where acts as the automorphism belonging to any of the conjugacy classes together with a shift along one of the circles of , . Then by the analysis in David:2006ud , the generating function of the index of BPS states in this theory is given by . Let us work in the dual heterotic frame in which the orbifolded heterotic theory is compactified in general on . For example the cases of the orbifolds of with corresponds to the CHL compactifications on the heterotic side. Let us label the charges of the BPS state by corresponding to the electric and magnetic charge of the dyon. Let and denote the continuous T-duality invariants in this duality frame. Then the BPS index in this frame is given by
[TABLE]
The contour is defined over a 3 dimensional subspace of the 3 complex dimensional space .
[TABLE]
The choice of is determined by the domain in which one needs to evaluate the index Sen:2007vb ; Dabholkar:2007vk . We pick up the Fourier coefficients by expanding in powers of and . For this expansion to make sense we must have David:2006ud ; Sen:2007vb
[TABLE]
Since this is an index, the Fourier coefficient must be an integer. Let us now focus on BPS states which are single centered black holes. Then from the fact that the single centered black holes carry zero angular momentum, it is predicted that the index for these black holes is positive Sen:2010mz . The argument for this goes as follows. Given the domain (105), these BPS black states have regular event horizons and are single centered only if the charges satisfy the condition Sen:2010mz
[TABLE]
Thus if we can show that the index is positive for states satisfying the condition (106), then it will imply the is positive for single centered BPS dyons as predicted from black hole considerations. In the next section we show that for low lying charges satisfying (106), is indeed positive for all the Siegel modular forms associated with the twisted elliptic genera constructed in this paper. This is the generalization of the observation seen first in Sen:2010mz for the conjugacy classes with . For and for a special class of charges it was proved that the coefficient is positive Bringmann:2012zr .
Before we proceed we will study 2 properties of the Siegel modular forms which are theta lifts of the twisted elliptic genera constructed in this paper. First the Siegel modular forms factorize in the limit as
[TABLE]
where are weight modular forms transforming under . The explicit modular forms on which the factorize are given in table 6. The function is the partition function of purely electric states while is the partition function of purely magnetic states. In fact and are related to each other by a transformation.
The second property we discuss is the asymptotic property of the index in (103) when the charges are equally large. The procedure to obtain the asymptotic behaviour has been developed in David:2006yn ; David:2006ud ; LopesCardoso:2006ugz , which we summarize briefly 555We follow the discussion in David:2006ud .. Consider another Siegel modular form of weight associated with the twisted elliptic genus defined by
[TABLE]
Here we have,
[TABLE]
Under , this modular form factorizes symmetrically in and as
[TABLE]
Then the leading behaviour of the index is given by
[TABLE]
where is obtained by minimizing the function
[TABLE]
with respect to . The minimum lies at
[TABLE]
Substituting the above values for results in the asymptotic behaviour of the index . The list of the modular forms for the models constructed in this paper is provided in table 7.
Let us now compare this to the behaviour of the entropy of single centered large charge BPS dyons in these theories obtained compactifying type II theory on where acts as the automorphisms on together with a shift on one of the circles of . Apart from the usual derivative terms in the effective action, a one loop computation shows that the coefficient of the Gauss-Bonnet term is given by
[TABLE]
where is the axion and dilaton moduli in the heterotic frame. The function is given by
[TABLE]
It is important to note that the modular form for each of the compactifications is identical to the form that occurs in the factorization (110) David:2006ud . Now evaluating the Hawking-Bekenstein-Wald entropy including the correction due to the Gauss-Bonnet term using the entropy function formalism leads to the following minimizing problem. The entropy is given by minimizing the function
[TABLE]
Here . The entropy function is identical to the statistical entropy function (112) which occurred while obtaining the asymptotic behaviour of . Thus the partition function captures the degeneracy of large charge single centered BPS black holes in these class of compactifications including the correction from the Gauss-Bonnet term.
The construction of the Siegel modular form given the coefficient of the twisted elliptic genus of is quite straight forward and for cyclic orbifolds, this was first given in David:2006ud . Recently the references Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb extend it for non-cyclic oribolds. It is important to emphasize the there are modular forms associated with the twisted elliptic genus of . The and the are constructed in equations (3) and (108) respectively. The Fourier expansion of the inverse of capture the degeneracy of the BPS dyon and its zeros at are associated with the walls of marginal stability of the dyon. The zero’s of are however associated with the asymptotic growth of the degeneracies for large charges. We mention that has not been constructed for the orbifolds listed in this paper in the references Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb . We emphasize that our objective in constructing the Siegel modular form in particular is to verify that the Fourier expansions of the inverse of these forms are integers and positive as predicted by the conjecture of Sen:2010mz . This was verified earlier by Sen:2010mz for the Siegel modular forms , associated with the orbifolds. In this next section we extend this observation for all the orbifolds discussed in this paper. To our knowledge, this observation has not been seen in the works of Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb . We also emphasize that to obtain this observation the explicit construction of the twisted elliptic genus in all its sectors together with the normalizations as discussed earlier is important.
3.1 Positivity and integrality of the BPS index
In this subsection we provide the list for the index for low lying charges for all the Siegel modular forms associated with the twisted elliptic genera constructed. From the expansion of in Fourier coefficients in the domain (105) together with the expression for in (103) we see that the electric charge is quantized in units of , while the magnetic charge is quantized in units of and the angular momentum is an integer. We see that the index for the low lying charges examined is always an integer. Furthermore for charges satisfying the condition (106) it is positive. This property is a sufficient condition which ensures that single centered black holes carry zero angular momentum. One important point to emphasize is that it is possible to obtain the Fourier expansion of the Siegel modular forms for low lying charges only after the explicit construction of the twisted elliptic genus. As a check on our Mathematica routines to obtain these Fourier coefficients, we have verified that our routine reproduces all the tables given in Sen:2010mz for the orbifold of with .
It is interesting to note that the non-geometric orbifolds also satisfy the positivity constraints conjectured by Sen:2010mz . We have attached the mathematica files which generate the Fourier coefficients for the and orbifolds as ancillary files.
4 Conclusions
We have constructed the twisted elliptic genera for orbifolded by automorphisms corresponding to all the conjugacy classes which lie as well as conjugacy classes which does not lie in . Our method involves the use of the modular transformation property of the twisted elliptic genus and discovering identities satisfied by modular forms which relate expansions in to expansions in . We also used inputs from symmetry to determine the twisted elliptic genus in sectors which form sub-orbits under .
We then constructed Siegel modular forms associated with the twisted elliptic genera that capture the degeneracy of BPS states in theories obtained by compactifying type II theory on where acts as a order automorphism associated with the conjugacy class of on together with a shift on one of the circles of . We show that the dyon partition function satisfied the required properties expected from black hole physics. In particular the Fourier coefficients of the BPS index are integers and certain low lying charges are positive in agreement with the conjecture of Sen:2010mz . This is a sufficient condition predicted from the fact that single centered black holes carry zero angular momentum. The construction of the twisted elliptic genus as well as the dyon partition function associated with the classes done in this paper, along with the earlier studied cases of with completes this analysis for all the CHL models.
It is worthwhile to complete this analysis of this paper for the remaining conjugacy classes of table 2. The construction for the twisted elliptic genera corresponding to these classes would required new ingredients. One possible direction is to use positivity and integrality of the low lying coefficients in the associated Siegel modular form to determine the twisted elliptic genera in the sectors which form sub-orbits under . These conjugacy classes have more than one sub-orbits. One can also verify if the Siegel modular forms constructed from the twisted elliptic genera for these classes provided in the ancillary files associated with Gaberdiel:2012gf is in agreement with the positivity conjecture of Sen:2010mz .
The references Persson:2013xpa ; Persson:2015jka ; Paquette:2017gmb has studied more general non-cyclic twisted twining elliptic genera of than considered in this paper. It is important to check if the more general twining elliptic genera considered in these references admit a BPS dyon partition function with integral Fourier coefficients and obey the positivity constraints as expected from black hole physics. Recently multiplicative lifts of more general weak Jacobi forms 666These were Jacobi forms of weight [math] but index . as well as the the Siegel modular forms of of weight and were studied and were shown to have properties which make them candidates for partition of black holes Belin:2016knb . It will be interesting to check if the Fourier coefficients of these Siegel modular forms also satisfy the positivity constraints required from black hole physics.
The discovery of the Mathieu moonshine symmetry has provided useful insights in string compactifications Kachru ; Datta:2015hza ; Chattopadhyaya:2016xpa as well as provided new examples where precision microscopic counting of black holes is possible as seen in this paper. It is certainly worthwhile to explore the implication of this symmetry further.
