BPS States, String Duality, and Nodal Curves on K3
Shing-Tung Yau, Eric Zaslow
Abstract
We describe the counting of BPS states of Type II strings on K3 by relating the supersymmetric cycles of genus g to the number of rational curves with g double points on K3. The generating function for the number of such curves is the left-moving partition function of the bosonic string.
