We consider compactifications of heterotic string theory to four dimensions on CHL (Chaudhuri-Hockney-Lykken) orbifolds of the type T /ZN with N = 4 supersymmetry. The exact partition functions of the quarter-BPS (Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld) dyons in these models are given in terms of genus-two Siegel modular forms. Only the N = 1, 2, 3 models satisfy a certain finiteness condition, and in these cases one can identify a Borcherds–Kac–Moody superalgebra underlying the symmetry structure of…

An orbifold of the toroidally compactified heterotic string is discussed which gives a global reduction of the dimension of the moduli space while preserving the supersymmetry, and the set of allowed gauge groups is invariant under electric-magnetic duality, providing further evidence for the {ital D}=4 heteroticString duality.

It is shown that in this limit the gravitational theory can be reformulated in terms of billiard motion in a region of hyperbolic space, revealing that the dynamics is completely determined by a (possibly infinite) sequence of reflections, which are elements of a Lorentzian Coxeter group.
