Description
Summary:(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae and/or non-USASCII text omitted; see image) Abstract There is a 'Mathieu moonshine' relating the elliptic genus of K3 to the sporadic group M ^sub 24^. Here, we give evidence that this moonshine extends to part of the web of dualities connecting heterotic strings compactified on K3 × T ^sup 2^ to type IIA strings compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds. We demonstrate that dimensions of M ^sub 24^ representations govern the new supersymmetric index of the heterotic compactifications, and appear in the Gromov-Witten invariants of the dual Calabi-Yau threefolds, which are elliptic fibrations over the Hirzebruch surfaces ...
