$G$-fixed Hilbert schemes on $K3$ surfaces, modular forms, and eta products
Abstract
Let be a complex surface with an effective action of a group which preserves the holomorphic symplectic form. Let be the generating function for the Euler characteristics of the Hilbert schemes of -invariant length subschemes. We show that its reciprocal, is the Fourier expansion of a modular cusp form of weight for the congruence subgroup . We give an explicit formula for in terms of the Dedekind eta function for all 82 possible . The key intermediate result we prove is of independent interest: it establishes an eta product identity for a certain shifted theta function of the root lattice of a simply laced root system. We extend our results to various refinements of the Euler characteristic, namely the Elliptic genus, the Chi- genus, and the motivic class.
