Abstract

A novel method for computing torus amplitudes in orbifold compactifications is suggested. It applies universally for every Abelian ZN\mathbb{Z}_{N} orbifold without requiring the unfolding technique. This method follows from the possibility of obtaining integrals over fundamental domains of every Hecke congruence subgroup Γ0[N]\Gamma_{0}[N] by computing contour integrals over one-dimensional curves uniformly distributed in these domains.
