 d applications - Abhiram Kidambi (University of Tokyo)

DESCRIPTION:Siegel modular forms have certain interesting applications in 
 toroidal compactification of heterotic sting theory. In this talk\, I will
  provide an update on the problem of studying vacua in 4d N = 1 heterotic 
 string theory on toroidal orbifolds with a Wilson line modulus. On the mat
 hematical side\, this is related to the construction and analysis of autom
 orphic functions and singular moduli of g =2 curves. Time permitting\, we 
 will also analyse the pullback of these invariants and their physical inte
 rpretation.
