Modular curves, the Tate-Shafarevich group and Gopakumar-Vafa invariants with discrete charges

T Schimannek - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We show that the stringy Kähler moduli space of a generic genus one curve of
degree N, for N≤ 5, is the Γ 1 (N) modular curve X 1 (N). This implies a correspondence …
