N=4 Characters in Gepner Models, Orbits and Elliptic Genera

We review the properties of characters of the N=4 SCA in the context of a non-linear sigma model on $K3$, how they are used to span the orbits, and how the orbits produce topological invariants like the elliptic genus. We derive the same expression for the $K3$ elliptic genus using three different Gepner models ($1^6$, $2^4$ and $4^3$ theories), detailing the orbits and verifying that their coefficients $F_i$ are given by elementary modular functions. We also reveal the orbits for the $1^3 2^2$, $1^4 4$ and $1^2 4^2$ theories. We derive relations for cubes of theta functions and study the function $ {1\overη} \sum_{n\in \Z} (-1)^n (6n+1)^k q^{(6n+1)^2 /24} $ for $k=1,2,3,4$.
