Abstract

We study the modular symmetry of zero-modes on T12×T22 and orbifold compactifications with magnetic fluxes, M1, M2, where modulus parameters are identified. This identification breaks the modular symmetry of T12×T22, SL(2, ℤ)1× SL(2, ℤ)2 to SL(2, ℤ) ≡ Γ. Each of the wavefunctions on T12×T22 and orbifolds behaves as the modular forms of weight 1 for the principal congruence subgroup Γ(N), N being 2 times the least common multiple of M1 and M2. Then, zero-modes transform each other under the modular symmetry as multiplets of double covering groups of ΓN such as the double cover of S4.
