Siegel modular flavor group and CP from string theory

We derive the potential modular symmetries of heterotic string theory. For a toroidal compactification with Wilson line modulus, we obtain the Siegel modular group Sp(4,Z) that includes the modular symmetries SL(2,Z)T and SL(2,Z)U (of the “geometric” moduli T and U) as well as mirror symmetry. In ad...
