We construct real Jacobi forms with matrix index using path integrals. The path integral expressions represent elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetric theories. They arise in a family labeled by two integers N and k which…
For real numbers $p,q>1$ we consider the following family of integrals: \begin{equation*} \int_{0}^{1}\frac{(x^{q-2}+1)\log\left(x^{mq}+1\right)}{x^q+1}{\rm d}x \quad \mbox{and}\quad…
Let $X$ be a smooth threefold over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that an arbitrary flop of $X$ is smooth. To this end, we study Gorenstein curves of genus one and two-dimensional elliptic singularities…
We derive an analytic representation of the ten-particle, two-loop double-box integral as an elliptic integral over weight-three polylogarithms. To obtain this form, we first derive a four-fold, rational (Feynman-)parametric representation…
In the world of mathematical analysis, many counterintuitive answers arise from the manipulation of seemingly unrelated concepts, ideas, or functions. For example, Euler showed that $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$, whereas Gauss proved that the area…
In [Problems on polytopes, their groups, and realizations, Periodica Math. Hungarica 53 (2006) 231-255] Schulte and Weiss proposed the following problem: {\em Characterize regular polytopes of orders $2^np$ for $n$ a positive integer and…
We describe a method by which the number of intersections one ellipse makes inside the plane of another can be determined. The method is based on applying a transformation that reverts one ellipse to the unit circle, and examining the…
We derive a number of summation and transformation formulas for elliptic hypergeometric series on the root systems A_n, C_n and D_n. In the special cases of classical and q-series, our approach leads to new elementary proofs of the…
In a previous paper, the author examined the possible torsions of an elliptic curve over the quadratic fields $\mathbb Q(i)$ and $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. Although all the possible torsions were found if the elliptic curve has rational…
Let $p>3$ be a prime. We prove that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\binom{2k}{k}/2^k=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}-p^2E_{p-3} (mod p^3),$$ $$\sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\binom{2k}{k}/k=(-1)^{(p+1)/2}8/3*pE_{p-3} (mod p^2),$$…
We solve the two-loop sunrise integral with unequal masses systematically to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter $\varepsilon$. In order to do so, we transform the system of differential equations for the master integrals…
The superconformal index of a three-dimensional supersymmetric field theory can be expressed in terms of basic hypergeometric integrals. By comparing the indices of dual theories, one can find new integral identities for basic…
A simple, self-contained proof is presented for the concavity of the map (A,B) --> Tr(A^p K^* B^(1-p) K). The author makes no claim to originality; this note gives Lieb's original argument in its simplest, rather than its most general,…
In this paper we proved the following: \emph{Let $K, L\subset \mathbb R^3$ be two $O$-symmetric convex bodies with $L\subset \emph{int} K$ strictly convex. Suppose that from every $x$ in $\emph{bd} K$ the graze $\Sigma(L,x)$ is a planar…
Let $K_i$ be a number field for all $i \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a family of elliptic curves containing infinitely many members defined over $K_i$ for all $i$. Fix a rational prime $p$. We give sufficient conditions for…
Utilizing spectral residues of parameterized, recursively defined sequences, we develop a general method for generating identities of composition sums. Specific results are obtained by focusing on coefficient sequences of solutions of first…
For an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$, one consequence of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is the parity conjecture: the global root number matches the parity of the Mordell-Weil rank. Assuming finiteness of…
It is demonstrated that the knowledge of a single and arbitrary solution of the three-dimension\-al Jacobi equations allows determining infinite families of new solutions, which are generally and explicitly constructed in what follows.…
An elliptic divisibility sequence is an integer recurrence sequence associated to an elliptic curve over the rationals together with a rational point on that curve. In this paper we present a higher-dimensional analogue over arbitrary base…
The differential nature of solutions of linear difference equations over the projective line was recently elucidated. In contrast, little is known about the differential nature of solutions of linear difference equations over elliptic…
