$1/8$-BPS couplings and exceptional automorphic functions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Unlike the \mathcal{R}^4 ℛ4 and \nabla^4\mathcal{R}^4 ∇4ℛ4 couplings, whose coefficients are Langlands–Eisenstein series of the U-duality group, the coefficient \mathcal{E}^{(d)}_{(0,1)} ℰ(0,1)(d) of the \nabla^6\mathcal{R}^4 ∇6ℛ4 interaction in the low-energy effective action of type II strings compactified on a torus T^d Td belongs to a more general class of automorphic functions, which satisfy Poisson rather than Laplace-type equations. In earlier work [1], it was proposed that the exact coefficient is given by a two-loop integral in exceptional field theory, with the full spectrum of mutually 1/2-BPS states running in the loops, up to the addition of a particular Langlands–Eisenstein series. Here we compute the weak coupling and large radius expansions of these automorphic functions for any d d . We find perfect agreement with perturbative string theory up to genus three, along with non-perturbative corrections which have the expected form for 1/8-BPS instantons and bound states of 1/2-BPS instantons and anti-instantons. The additional Langlands–Eisenstein series arises from a subtle cancellation between the two-loop amplitude with 1/4-BPS states running in the loops, and the three-loop amplitude with mutually 1/2-BPS states in the loops. For d=4 d=4 , the result is shown to coincide with an alternative proposal [2] in terms of a covariantised genus-two string amplitude, due to interesting identities between the Kawazumi–Zhang invariant of genus-two curves and its tropical limit, and between double lattice sums for the particle and string multiplets, which may be of independent mathematical interest.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
