Modular symmetry by orbifolding magnetized $T^2times T^2$: realization of double cover of $Gamma_N$


Abstract in English

We study the modular symmetry of zero-modes on $T_1^2 times T_2^2$ and orbifold compactifications with magnetic fluxes, $M_1,M_2$, where modulus parameters are identified. This identification breaks the modular symmetry of $T^2_1 times T^2_2$, $SL(2,mathbb{Z})_1 times SL(2,mathbb{Z})_2$ to $SL(2,mathbb{Z})equivGamma$. Each of the wavefunctions on $T^2_1 times T^2_2$ and orbifolds behaves as the modular forms of weight 1 for the principal congruence subgroup $Gamma$($N$), $N$ being 2 times the least common multiple of $M_1$ and $M_2$. Then, zero-modes transform each other under the modular symmetry as multiplets of double covering groups of $Gamma_N$ such as the double cover of $S_4$.
