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…
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…
Hodge-elliptic genera and how they govern K3 theories
Katrin Wendland
The (complex) Hodge-elliptic genus and its conformal field theoretic counterpart were recently introduced by Kachru and Tripathy, refining the traditional complex elliptic genus. W…
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…
Snapshots of Conformal Field Theory
Katrin Wendland
In snapshots, this exposition introduces conformal field theory, with a focus on those perspectives that are relevant for interpreting superconformal field theory by Calabi-Yau geo…
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…
