We investigate the generic distribution of bosonic and fermionic states at all mass levels in non-supersymmetric string theories, and find that a hidden ``misaligned supersymmetry'' must always appear in the string spectrum. We show that…

The holomorphicity property of N=1 superpotentials or of N=2 F-terms involving vector multiplets is generalized to the case of N=4 1/2-BPS effective operators defined in harmonic superspace. The resulting harmonicity equations are shown to…

We argue for the existence of many new 1/4 BPS states in N=4 SU(N_c) Super-Yang-Mills theory with N_c>=3, by constructing them from supersymmetric string webs whose external strings terminate on parallel D3-branes. The masses of the string…

We study the BPS black hole solutions of the (truncated) action for heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus. The O(3,Z) duality symmetry of the theory, together with the bound state interpretation of extreme black holes, is used…

We study the resurgent structure of the refined topological string partition function on a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold, at large orders in the string coupling constant $g_s$ and fixed refinement parameter $\mathsf{b}$. For…

An extended class of N=2 locally supersymmetric invariants with higher-derivative couplings based on full superspace integrals, is constructed. These invariants may depend on unrestricted chiral supermultiplets, on vector supermultiplets…

A class of supersymmetric (BPS saturated), static, spherically symmetric solutions of four-dimensional effective N=4 supersymmetric superstring vacua, which become massless at special points of moduli space, is studied in terms of the…

In a previous paper we had proposed a specific route to relating the entropy of two charge black holes to the degeneracy of elementary string states in N=4 supersymmetric heterotic string theory in four dimensions. For toroidal…

We propose a novel modular anomaly equation for the unflavored Schur index in the $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory. The vanishing conditions overdetermine the modular ambiguity ansatz from the equation, thus together they are…

General conjectures about the SL(2,Z) modular transformation properties of N=4 super-Yang-Mills correlation functions are presented. It is shown how these modular transformation properties arise from the conjectured duality with IIB string…

In Type II Calabi-Yau string compactifications, S-duality predicts that suitable generating series of BPS indices counting microstates of D4-D2-D0 black holes are in general mock modular forms of higher depth. The non-holomorphic…

We study 1/4 Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) composite solitons of vortex strings, domain walls and boojums in ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Abelian gauge theories in four dimensions. We obtain solutions to the 1/4 BPS equations with the…

We revisit our earlier work which lead to a periodic table of Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras that appeared in the context of the refined generating function of quarter-BPS (dyons) in $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric four-dimensional string…

For dyons in heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus, with electric charge vector Q and magnetic charge vector P, the positive integer I = g.c.d.(Q \wedge P) is an invariant of the U-duality group. We propose the microscopic…

Dyonic 1/4-BPS states in Type IIB string theory compactified on $\mathrm{K}3 \times T^2$ are counted by meromorphic Jacobi forms. The finite parts of these functions, which are mixed mock Jacobi forms, account for the degeneracy of states…

Following the suggestion of hep-th/0506249 and hep-th/0612011, we represent quarter BPS dyons in N=4 supersymmetric string theories as string network configuration and explore the role of genus two surfaces in determining the spectrum of…

We formulate large $N$ duality of $\mathrm{U}(N)$ refined Chern-Simons theory with a torus knot/link in $S^3$. By studying refined BPS states in M-theory, we provide the explicit form of low-energy effective actions of Type IIA string…

It is shown that the asymptotic growth of the microscopic degeneracy of BPS dyons in four-dimensional N=4 string theory captures the known corrections to the macroscopic entropy of four-dimensional extremal black holes. These corrections…

We show that the topological string partition function with D-branes on a compact Calabi-Yau manifold has new anomalies that spoil the recursive structure of the holomorphic anomaly equation and introduce dependence on wrong moduli (such as…

We discuss the transformation properties of classical extremal N=2 black hole solutions in S-T-U like models under S and T duality. Using invariants of (subgroups of) the triality group, which is the symmetry group of the classical BPS mass…
