Abstract
We study a family of Siegel modular forms that are constructed using Jacobi forms that arise in Umbral moonshine. All but one of them arise as the Weyl-Kac-Borcherds denominator formula of some Borcherds-Kac-Moody (BKM) Lie superalgebras. These Lie superalgebras have a $\widehat{sl(2)}$ subalgebra which we use to study the Siegel modular forms. We show that the expansion of the Umbral Jacobi forms in terms of $\widehat{sl(2)}$ characters leads to vector-valued modular forms. We obtain closed formulae for these vector-valued modular forms. In the Lie algebraic context, the Fourier coefficients of these vector-valued modular forms are related to multiplicities of roots appearing on the sum side of the Weyl-Kac-Borcherds denominator formulae.

Elliptic genera of symmetric products and second quantized strings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proved an identity that equates the elliptic genus partition function of a supersymmetric sigma model on the N-fold symmetric product M N /SN of a manifold M to the partition function for a second quantized string theory on the space M × S 1, where the generating function of these elliptic genera is shown to be an automorphic form for O(3,2, Z).
