Abstract
We prove exact identities for convolution sums of divisor functions of the form where is a Laurent polynomial with logarithms for which the sum is absolutely convergent. Such identities are motivated by computations in string theory and prove and generalize a conjecture of Chester, Green, Pufu, Wang, and Wen from \cite{CGPWW}. Originally, it was suspected that such sums, suitably extended to should vanish, but in this paper we find that in general they give Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms.
