Tracking the symmetries of -orbifold K3s within the Mathieu groups
Kasia Budzik, Anne Taormina, Mara Ungureanu +2
For -orbifold limits of K3, we provide a counterpart to the extensive studies by Nikulin and others of the geometry and symmetries of classical Kummer surfaces. In par…
SU(2) channels the cancellation of K3 BPS states
Anne Taormina, Katrin Wendland
The conformal field theoretic elliptic genus, an invariant for N=(2,2) superconformal field theories, counts the BPS states in any such theory with signs, according to their bosoni…
Reciprocal Nucleopeptides as the Ancestral Darwinian Self-Replicator
Eleanor F. Banwell, Bernard Piette, Anne Taormina +1
Even the simplest organisms are too complex to have spontaneously arisen fully-formed, yet precursors to first life must have emerged ab initio from their environment. A watershed…
Not Doomed to Fail
Anne Taormina, Katrin Wendland
In their recent manuscript "An Uplifting Discussion of T-Duality", arXiv:1707.08888, J. Harvey and G. Moore have reevaluated a mod two condition appearing in asymmetric orbifold co…
The Conway Moonshine Module is a Reflected K3 Theory
Anne Taormina, Katrin Wendland
Recently, Duncan and Mack-Crane established an isomorphism, as Virasoro modules at central charges c=12, between the space of states of the Conway Moonshine Module and the space of…
A K3 sigma model with Z_2^8:M_{20} symmetry
Matthias R. Gaberdiel, Anne Taormina, Roberto Volpato +1
The K3 sigma model based on the Z_2-orbifold of the D_4-torus theory is studied. It is shown that it has an equivalent description in terms of twelve free Majorana fermions, or as…
