Elliptic Genera of Symmetric Products and Second Quantized Strings
R. Dijkgraaf, G. Moore, E. Verlinde +1
In this note we prove an identity that equates the elliptic genus partition function of a supersymmetric sigma model on the N-fold symmetric product of a manifold M to th…
Counting Dyons in N=4 String Theory
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We present a microscopic index formula for the degeneracy of dyons in four-dimensional N=4 string theory. This counting formula is manifestly symmetric under the duality group, and…
Backreaction on Moving Mirrors and Black Hole Radiation
Niels Tuning, Herman Verlinde
We compute the effect of quantum mechanical backreaction on the spectrum of radiation in a dynamical moving mirror model, mimicking the effect of a gravitational collapse geometry.…
BPS Quantization of the Five-Brane
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We give a unified description of all BPS states of M-theory compactified on in terms of the five-brane. We compute the mass spectrum and degeneracies and find that the $SO(5,…
BPS Spectrum of the Five-Brane and Black Hole Entropy
R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, H. Verlinde
We propose a formulation of 11-dimensional M-theory in terms of five-branes with closed strings on their world-volume. We use this description to construct the complete spectrum of…
