Abstract
We study the type II superstring theory on the background , where is a Calabi-Yau -fold () with an isolated singularity, by making use of the holographically dual description proposed by Giveon-Kutasov-Pelc (hep-th/9907178). We compute the toroidal partition functions for each of the cases , and obtain manifestly modular invariant solutions classified by the standard series corresponding to the type of singularities on . Partition functions of these modular invariants all vanish due to theta function identities and are consistent with the presence of space-time supersymmetry.
