Symmetric products, permutation orbifolds and discrete torsion
Abstract
Symmetric product orbifolds, i.e. permutation orbifolds of the full symmetric group Sn are considered by applying the general techniques of permutation orbifolds. Generating functions for various quantities, e.g. the torus partition functions and the Klein-bottle amplitudes are presented, as well as a simple expression for the discrete torsion coefficients.
