Abstract

We conjecture that the Fourier coefficients of a degree three Siegel form, 1/χ181/\sqrt{\chi_{18}}, count the degeneracy of three-center BPS bound states in type II string theory compactified on K3×T2K3 \times T^2. We provide evidence for our conjecture in the form of consistency with physical considerations of wall-crossing, holographic bounds, and the appearance of suitable counting functions (involving the inverse of the modular discriminant Δ\Delta and the inverse of the Igusa cusp form Φ10\Phi_{10}) in limits where the count degenerates to involve single-center or two-center objects.
