Heterotic sigma models on T 8 and the Borcherds automorphic form Φ12
Abstract We consider the spectrum of BPS states of the heterotic sigma model with (0, 8) supersymmetry and T 8 target, as well as its second-quantized counterpart. We show that the counting function for such states is intimately related to Borcherds’ automorphic form Φ12, a modular form which exhibi...
