Old and new results for BPS amplitudes in string theory

I shall reconsider BPS-saturated amplitudes in heterotic string theory by using
our recently proposed method for computing modular integrals. I shall show
how these amplitudes can be naturally expressed in terms of generalised
holomorphic prepotentials whose (inhomogeneous) modular properties are
now completely under control and calculable. I shall finally apply our
techniques to vacua with spontaneous partial supersymmetry breaking, and
will present new results for gauge and gravitational thresholds and discuss
new Borcherd's product formulae.
