A curve X over the field Q of rational numbers is modular if it is dominated by X_1(N) for some N; if in addition the image of its jacobian in J_1(N) is contained in the new subvariety of J_1(N), then X is called a new modular curve. We…
Let $\zeta$ be a fixed nonzero element in a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. In this article, we count the number of pairs $(A,B)$ of $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb F_q$ satisfying $AB=\zeta BA$ by giving a generating…
The concept of (a,b)-module comes from the study the Gauss-Manin lattices of an isolated singularity of a germ of an holomorphic function. It is a very simple ''abstract algebraic structure'', but very rich, whose prototype is the formal…
We study some sum-product problems over matrix rings. Firstly, for $A, B, C\subseteq M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, we have $$ |A+BC|\gtrsim q^{n^2}, $$ whenever $|A||B||C|\gtrsim q^{3n^2-\frac{n+1}{2}}$. Secondly, if a set $A$ in $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$…
In this note, we study the arithmetic nature of values of modular functions, meromorphic modular forms and meromorphic quasi-modular forms with respect to arbitrary congruence subgroups, that have algebraic Fourier coefficients. This…
Usual coset construction $\SU{k}\times\SU{l}/\SU{k+l}$ of Wess--Zumino conformal field theory is presented as a coset construction of minimal models. This new coset construction can be defined rigorously and allows one to calculate easily…
We extend the definitions of characters and partition functions to the case of conformal field theories which contain operators with logarithmic correlation functions. As an example we consider the theories with central charge c = c(p,1) =…
Set functions with convenient properties (such as submodularity) appear in application areas of current interest, such as algorithmic game theory, and allow for improved optimization algorithms. It is natural to ask (e.g., in the context of…
Given a germ of holomorphic map $f$ from $\mathbb C^n$ to $\mathbb C^{n+1}$, we define a module $M(f)$ whose dimension over $\mathbb C$ is an upper bound for the $\mathscr A$-codimension of $f$, with equality if $f$ is weighted homogeneous.…
We construct special pairs of quantum sigma models on Kahler Calabi-Yau and non-Kahler Fu-Yau manifolds which flow to the same conformal field theories in their "small-radius" phases. This smooth description of a novel type of topology…
All unitary Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFT) are conjectured to be related to unitary coset Conformal Field Theories, i.e., gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models with compact gauge groups. In this paper we use subfactor theory and…
In this paper, we first give two fundamental principles under a technique to characterize conformal vector fields of $(\alpha,\beta)$ spaces to be homothetic and determine the local structure of those homothetic fields. Then we use the…
For any $a,b\in\mathbb C$, $W(a,b)$ is the Lie algebra with basis $\{L_m,M_m\,|\,m\in\mathbb Z\}$ and relations $[L_m,L_n]=(n-m)L_{m+n},$ $[L_m,W_n]=(a+n+bm)W_{m+n}$, $[W_m,W_n]=0$ for $m,n\in\mathbb Z$. For any $\lambda\in\mathbb C^*,$…
In previous work, the first author developed an algorithm for the computation of Hilbert modular forms. In this paper, we extend this to all totally real number fields of even degree and nontrivial class group. Using the algorithm over…
$\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal minimal models are the first series of unitary conformal field theories (CFTs) extending beyond Virasoro algebra. Using coset constructions, we characterize CFTs in $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal minimal…
We give an algorithm to compute representatives of the conjugacy classes of semisimple square integral matrices with given minimal and characteristic polynomials. We also give an algorithm to compute the $\mathbb{F}_q$-isomorphism classes…
In this paper we continue the study of representation theory of formal distribution Lie superalgebras initiated in q-alg/9706030. We study finite Verma-type conformal modules over the N=2, N=3 and the two N=4 superconformal algebras and…
Let $C$ be an algebraic smooth complex curve of genus $g>1$. The object of this paper is the study of the birational structure of certain moduli spaces of vector bundles and of coherent systems on $C$ and the comparison of different type of…
In this paper, we present three families of modular Nahm sums for symmetrizable matrices with arbitrary rank $r\geq 2$ of indices $({2,\ldots, 2},1)$ and $({1,\ldots, 1},2)$. Specifically, the cases corresponding to $r = 2$ and $r = 3$ of…
We use the process of quantum hamiltonian reduction of SU(2)_k, at rational level k, to study explicitly the correlators of the h_{1,s} fields in the c_{p,q} models. We find from direct calculation of the correlators that we have the…
