String duality, automorphic forms, and generalized Kac-Moody algebras
arXiv:hep-th/9710198 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(98)00120-0
Abstract
This is a summary of a review talk at the Trieste conference on duality symmetries in string theory, April 1997. We review some work that has been done on the relation of BPS states, automorphic forms and the geometry of the quantum ground states of string compactifications with extended supersymmetry, emphasizing the (hypothetically) central role of BPS algebras.
