In this paper, the authors study compactifications of heterotic string theory to four dimensions on Chaudhuri-Hockney-Lykken orbifolds of the type \(\mathbb T^6 /\mathbb Z_N\) with \(\mathcal N=4\) supersymmetry. The authors give the exact partition functions of the quarter-BPS dyons in these models in terms of genus-two Siegel modular forms. The authors also identify the real roots, and find that the corresponding Cartan matrices exhaust a known classification. The authors also prove that the Siegel modular form satisfies the Weyl denominator identity of the algebra, which enables the determination of all root multiplicities.
