In this note, we report on the results of a computer search performed to find possible modular companions to certain $q$-series identities and conjectures. For the search, we use conditions arising from the asymptotics of Nahm sums. We…
We study the moduli space of coherent systems in $P^2$ using the Segre invariant. We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of $\alpha$-semistable coherent systems $(E,V)$ of type $(2, c_1, c_2, k)$, with $k \geq 2$. Afterwards, we…
A set of polynomials $M$ is called a {\it submodule} of $\mathbb{C} [x_1, \dots, x_n ]$ if $M$ is a translation invariant linear subspace of $\mathbb{C} [x_1, \dots, x_n ]$. We present a description of the submodules of $\mathbb{C} [x,y]$…
We derive modular parametrizations for certain infinite series whose summands involve central binomial coefficients and higher-order harmonic numbers. When the rates of convergence are certain rational numbers, modularity allows us to…
One of interesting issues in two-dimensional superconformal field theories is the existence of anomalous modular transformation properties appearing in some non-compact superconformal models, corresponding to the `mock modularity' in…
These lecture notes were written for a mini-course that was designed to introduce students and researchers to {\it $q$-series,} which are also called {\it basic hypergeometric series} because of the parameter $q$ that is used as a base in…
A general procedure is presented to determine, given any suitable representation of the modular group, the characters of all possible Rational Conformal Field Theories whose associated modular representation is the given one. The relevant…
We describe an approach to logarithmic conformal field theories as limits of sequences of ordinary conformal field theories with varying central charge c. Logarithmic behaviour arises from degeneracies in the spectrum of scaling dimensions…
We consider the problem of covering multiple submodular constraints. Given a finite ground set $N$, a cost function $c: N \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$, $r$ monotone submodular functions $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_r$ over $N$ and requirements…
We introduce the concept of quotient-convergence for sequences of submodular set functions, providing, among others, a new framework for the study of convergence of matroids through their rank functions. Extending the limit theory of…
This article reviews some recent progress in our understanding of the structure of Rational Conformal Field Theories, based on ideas that originate for a large part in the work of A. Ocneanu. The consistency conditions that generalize…
In this paper we prove lower bounds for sizes of refutations of unsatisfiable vector Subset Sum instances $\overrightarrow{a}_1 x_1 + \dots + \overrightarrow{a}_n x_n = \overrightarrow{b}$ in the proof system Res(lin$_{\mathbb{F}_q}$) where…
We study the $k$-resultant modulus set problem in the $d$-dimensional vector space $\mathbb F_q^d$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. Given $E\subset \mathbb F_q^d$ and an integer $k\ge 2$, the $k$-resultant modulus set,…
Around 2016, Calinescu, Milas and Penn conjectured that the rank $r$ Nahm sum associated with the $r\times r$ tadpole Cartan matrix is modular, and they provided a proof for $r=2$. The $r=3$ case was recently resolved by Milas and Wang. We…
Computing modular coincidences can show whether a given substitution system, which is supported on a point lattice in R^d, consists of model sets or not. We prove the computatibility of this problem and determine an upper bound for the…
We investigate when the categories of all rational $A$-modules and of finite dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of $C^*$-modules, where $C^*$ is the cofinite topological completion of $A$. We give a…
We prove a $q$-analogue of the Carter-Payne theorem for the two special cases corresponding to moving an arbitrary number of nodes between adjacent rows, or moving one node between an arbitrary number of rows. As a consequence, we show that…
The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of…
The concept of conformal field theory provides a general classification of statistical systems on two-dimensional geometries at the point of a continuous phase transition. Considering the finite-size scaling of certain special observables,…
Let $\mathbb F_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. Given $k$ sets $E_j\subset \mathbb F_q^d$ for $j=1,2,\ldots, k$, the generalized $k$-resultant modulus set, denoted by…
