Liouville Theory and Elliptic Genera

The structure and modular properties of N=4 superconformal characters are reviewed and exploited, in an attempt to construct elliptic genera-like functions by decompactifying K3. The construction is tested against expressions obtained in the context of strings propagating in background ALE spaces of type A(n-1), using the underlying superconformal theory, i.e the tensor product of N=2 minimal with N=2 Liouville theory.
