We resolve a question of Kac, and explain the automorphic properties of characters due to Kac-Wakimoto pertaining to sl(m|n)^ highest weight modules, for n \geq 1. We prove that the Kac-Wakimoto characters are essentially holomorphic parts…

We use recent results of Rolen, Zwegers, and the first author to study characters of irreducible (highest weight) modules for the vertex operator algebra $L_{\frak{sl}_\ell}(-\Lambda_0)$. We establish asymptotic behaviors of characters for…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let Sp(2m) be the symplectic group of rank m over K. The main theorem of this article gives the character of the rational simple Sp(2m)-modules with fundamental highest weight…

Character formulas for Lie superalgebras have been shown to have important applications to number theory and combinatorics. We prove the Kac-Wakimoto character formula for the general linear Lie superalgebra gl(m|n). This formula…

We give the first positive formulas for the weights of every simple highest weight module $L(\lambda)$ over an arbitrary Kac-Moody algebra. Under a mild condition on the highest weight, we also express the weights of $L(\lambda)$ as an…

We study quasifinite highest weight modules over the supersymmetric extension of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra on the basis of the analysis by Kac and Radul. We find that the quasifiniteness of the modules is again characterized by…

In 1994, Kac and Wakimoto suggested a generalization of Bernstein and Leites character formula for basic Lie superalgebras, and the natural question was raised: to which simple highest weight modules does it apply? In this paper, we prove a…

We show that the Weyl-Kac type character formula holds for the integrable highest weight modules over the quantized enveloping algebra of any symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra, when the parameter $q$ is not a root of unity.

We construct a quasi-particle basis of the integrable highest weight module of highest weight $3\Lambda_0$ for the twisted affine Lie algebra of type $A_2^{(2)}$ in the principal realization. More specifically, by introducing the concept of…

We classify finite-dimensional tame modules over the ortho-symplectic Lie superalgebras. For these modules we show that their characters are given by the Kac-Wakimoto character formula, thus establishing the Kac-Wakimoto conjecture for the…

In the paper we consider the problem of computation of characters of relatively integrable irreducible highest weight modules $L$ over finite-dimensional basic Lie superalgebras and over affine Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}$. The problems…

The characters $\chi_\mu$ of nontwisted affine algebras at fixed level define in a natural way a representation $R$ of the modular group $SL_2(Z)$. The matrices in the image $R(SL_2(Z))$ are called the Kac-Peterson modular matrices, and…

We investigate the various types of weight raising and weight lowering operators on quasi-modular forms, or equivalently on Shimura's vector-valued modular forms involving symmetric power representations. We also present all the…

We give a new interpretation of representation theory of the finite-dimensional half-integer weight modules over the queer Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{q}(n)$. It is given in terms of Brundan's work of finite-dimensional integer weight…

We study $\ell$-regular partitions by defining a sequence of modular forms of level $\ell$ and quadratic character which encode their $\ell$-adic behavior. We show that this sequence is congruent modulo increasing powers of $\ell$ to level…

The main result in this paper is the character formula for arbitrary irreducible highest weight modules of W algebras. The key ingredient is the functor provided by quantum Hamiltonian reduction, that constructs the W algebras from affine…

We study various properties of quasimodular forms by using their connections with Jacobi-like forms and pseudodifferential operators. Such connections are made by identifying quasimodular forms for a discrete subgroup $\G$ of $SL(2, \bR)$…

We extend the relation between quasi-modular forms and modular forms to a wider class of functions. We then relate both forms to vector-valued modular forms with symmetric power representations, and prove a general structure theorem for…

The characters of the unitarizable highest weight modules over the N=2 superconformal algebras are presented. This is a slightly extended version of an Encyclopedia entry.

Extremal quasimodular forms have been introduced by M.~Kaneko and M.Koike as as quasimodular forms which have maximal possible order of vanishing at $i\infty$. We show an asymptotic formula for the Fourier coefficients of such forms. This…
