Abstract

The degeneracies of $1/4$ BPS states with unit torsion in heterotic string theory compactified on a six-torus are given in terms of the Fourier coefficients of the reciprocal of the Igusa cusp Siegel modular form $Φ_{10}$ of weight $10$. We use the symplectic symmetries of the latter to construct a fine-grained Rademacher type expansion which expresses these BPS degeneracies as a regularized sum over residues of the poles of $1/Φ_{10}$. The construction uses two distinct ${\rm SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$ subgroups of ${\rm Sp}(2, \mathbb{Z})$ which encode multiplier systems, Kloosterman sums and Eichler integrals appearing therein. Additionally, it shows how the polar data are explicitly built from the Fourier coefficients of $1/η^{24}$ by means of a continued fraction structure.
