abstract
We discuss an orbifold of the toroidally compactified heterotic string which gives a global reduction of the dimension of the moduli space while preserving the supersymmetry. This construction yields the moduli space of the first of a series of reduced rank theories with maximal supersymmetry discovered recently by Chaudhuri, Hockney, and Lykken. Such moduli spaces contain non-simply-laced enhanced symmetry points in any spacetime dimension D<10. Precisely in D=4 the set of allowed gauge groups is invariant under electric-magnetic duality, providing further evidence for S-duality of the D=4 heterotic string.

Constructs generating function for single-centered black hole index in Z_N CHL models by subtracting two-centered contributions from dyon index using bound state metamorphosis and proves convergence for N=2,3.
Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circle reduction.
