Abstract

In this article we examine the Ruelle type spectral functions \cR(s)\cR(s),which define an overall description of the content of the work. We investigate the Gopakumar-Vafa reformulation of the string partition functions, describe the N=2 Landau-Ginzburg model in terms of Ruelle type spectral functions. Furthermore, we discuss the basic properties satisfied by elliptic genera in N=2 theories, construct the functional equations for \cR(s)\cR(s), and analyze the modular transformation laws for the elliptic genus of the Landau-Ginzburg model and study their properties in details.
