We study cosets of the type $H_l/U(1)^r$, where $H$ is any Lie algebra at level $l$ and rank $r$. These theories are parafermionic and their characters are related to the string functions, which are generating functions for the…
We present a dual formulation of the construction of N=2 nonlinear sigma-model type conformal field theories with c=9 which are mainly used as internal sectors of Calabi-Yau heterotic string compactifications. The supercurrents and the…
In this paper, we consider the higher Br\'ezin--Gross--Witten tau-functions, given by the matrix integrals. For these tau-functions we construct the canonical Kac--Schwarz operators, quantum spectral curves, and $W^{(3)}$-constraints. For…
We study modular transformation properties of a class of indefinite theta series involved in characters of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras. The \textit{level-$\ell$ Appell functions} $K_\ell$ satisfy open quasiperiodicity relations…

The partition function of type IIA and B strings on R^6xK3, in the T^4/Z_2 orbifold limit, is explicitly computed as a modular invariant sum over spin strutures required by perturbative unitarity in order to extend the analysis to include…
We use a Grassmannian framework to define multi-component tau functions as expectation values of certain multi-component Fermi operators satisfying simple bilinear commutation relations on Clifford algebra. The tau functions contain both…
We study $t$-analogs of string functions for integrable highest weight representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $A_1^{(1)}$. We obtain closed form formulas for certain $t$-string functions of levels 2 and 4. As corollaries, we obtain…
Code CFTs are 2d conformal field theories defined by error-correcting codes. Recently, Dymarsky and Shapere generalized the construction of code CFTs to include quantum error-correcting codes. In this paper, we explore this connection at…
The method of topological vertex for topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds is reviewed. Implications of an explicit formula of partition functions in the "on-strip" case, typically the generalized conifolds, are considered.…
