Genus Two Surface and Quarter BPS Dyons: The Contour Prescription
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following the suggestion of hep-th/0506249 and hep-th/0612011, we represent quarter BPS dyons in N = 4 supersymmetric string theories as string network configuration and explore the role of genus two surfaces in determining the spectrum of such dyons. Our analysis leads to the correct contour prescription for integrating the partition function to determine the spectrum in different domains of the moduli space separated by the walls of marginal stability.

Rare Decay Modes of Quarter BPS Dyons
The degeneracy of quarter BPS dyons in N=4 supersymmetric string theories is known to jump across walls of marginal stability on which a quarter BPS dyon can decay into a pair of half BPS dyons. We show that as long as the electric and magnetic charges of the original dyon are primitive elements of the charge lattice, the subspaces of the moduli space on which a quarter BPS dyon becomes margina...

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 کاملDyon Spectrum in CHL Models
We propose a formula for the degeneracy of quarter BPS dyons in a class of CHL models. The formula uses a modular form of a subgroup of the genus two modular group Sp(2, ZZ). Our proposal is S-duality invariant and reproduces correctly the entropy of a dyonic black hole to first non-leading order for large values of the charges.
متن کاملPartition Functions of Torsion > 1 Dyons in Heterotic String Theory on T 6
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 cro...
