Wall crossing formula for 𝒩 = 4 dyons: a macroscopic derivation

Abstract: We derive the wall crossing formula for the decay of a quarter BPS dyon into a pair of half-BPS dyons by analyzing the quantum dynamics of multi-centered black holes in N = 4 supersymmetric string theories. Our analysis encompasses the cases where the final decay products are non-primitive dyons. The results are in agreement with the microscopic formula for the dyon spectrum in the special case of heterotic string theory on T 6 .

“…After splitting C k−2 and C k−2 into their finite and polar parts, and representing the latter as a Poincaré sum, we shall show that the unfolded sum over matrices A accounts for all possible splittings of a charge (Q, P ) = (Q 1 , P 1 ) + (Q 2 , P 2 ) into two 1/2-BPS constituents, labeled by A ∼ p q r s ∈ M 2 (Z) [33], (Q 1 , P 1 ) = (p, r) sQ − qP ps − qr , (Q 2 , P 2 ) = (q, s) pP − rQ ps − qr . (2.15) Generalizing the analysis in [40], we shall show that the discontinuity of Ω 6 (Γ, t) for an arbitrary primitive (but possibly torsionful) charge Γ is given by a variant of (2.12) where Ω 4 (Γ) on the right-hand side is replaced by Ω 4 (Γ) = d≥1 Γ/d ∈Λe⊕Λm Ω 4 (Γ/d) , (2.16) in agreement with the macroscopic analysis in [35].…”

“…jump in Ω 6 (Q, P ; t) can then be shown to agree [33,34,35] with the primitive wall-crossing formula [36] ∆Ω 6 (Γ) = −(−1) Γ 1 ,Γ 2 +1 Ω 4 (Γ 1 ) Ω 4 (Γ 2 ) , (2.12) where ∆Ω 6 is the index in the chamber where the bound state exists, minus the index in the chamber where it does not. The formula (2.8) only applies to dyons whose charge is primitive with unit torsion and that is generic, in the sense that it belongs to the highest stratum in the following graph of inclusions 2…”

“…In 4D case, the exact degeneracy changes as the sign of Q Á P change. This jump in the degeneracy is related to the issue of walls of marginal stability as discussed in detail in [19,20]. As pointed out below (5), there is an extra zero atṽ ¼ 0 inÈ, compared tõ È bmpv .…”

“…For two-center solutions the latter term refers to the situation, when in moduli space after crossing walls of marginal stability the attractor flows are separately evolving to the attractor points of the constituent single center solutions. Recently these developments have triggered activity in a variety of new research fields such as attractor flow trees, entropy enigmas, microstate counting, and bound state recombination [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
