I will introduce a new procedure for computing a class of one-loop
modular integrals of interest in (lower-dimensional) string theory. It
has the special property of keeping T-duality manifest throughout
and allows one to neatly extract the singularity structure of the
integrals at points of gauge symmetry enhancement. The new
method is based on the Rankin-Selberg transform and on a suitable
Poincaré-series representation of the elliptic genus.
