Enhanced Gauge Groups in N=4 Topological Amplitudes and Lorentzian Borcherds Algebras (1107.2301v1)

Published 12 Jul 2011 in hep-th and math.NT

Abstract: We continue our study of algebraic properties of N=4 topological amplitudes in heterotic string theory compactified on T2, initiated in arXiv:1102.1821. In this work we evaluate a particular one-loop amplitude for any enhanced gauge group h \subset e_8 + e_8, i.e. for arbitrary choice of Wilson line moduli. We show that a certain analytic part of the result has an infinite product representation, where the product is taken over the positive roots of a Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebra g{++}. The latter is obtained through double extension of the complement g= (e_8 + e_8)/h. The infinite product is automorphic with respect to a finite index subgroup of the full T-duality group SO(2,18;Z) and, through the philosophy of Borcherds-Gritsenko-Nikulin, this defines the denominator formula of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra G(g{++}), which is an 'automorphic correction' of g{++}. We explicitly give the root multiplicities of G(g{++}) for a number of examples.
