We evaluate partition functions of matrix models which are given by topologically twisted and dimensionally reduced actions of d=4 N=1 super Yang-Mills theories with classical (semi-)simple gauge groups, SO(2N), SO(2N+1) and USp(2N). The…
We find examples of duality among quantum theories that are related to arithmetic functions by identifying distinct Hamiltonians that have identical partition functions at suitably related coupling constants or temperatures. We are led to…
We study the moduli space of euclidean structures with cone points on a surface, and describe a decomposition into cells each of which corresponds to a given combinatorial type of Delaunay tessellation. We use some of the ideas to study…
A method of reducing general quaternion functions of first degree, i.e., linear quaternion functions, to quaternary canonical form is given. Linear quaternion functions, once reduced to canonical form, can be maintained in this form under…
Some comments are made on the matrices which serve as the basis of a quaternionic algebra. We show that these matrices are related with the quaternionic action of the imaginary units from the left and from the right.
In this note we consider the problem of local classification of Bonnet pairs of surfaces in 3-dimensional Minkowski space. We use split quaternions in a way similar to the use of quaternions in, arXiv:dg-ga/9610006, for the solution in…
There is a classical geometric construction which uses a binary quadratic form to define an involution on the space of binary d-ics. We give a complete characterization of a general class of such involutions which are definable using…
In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…
The connection between the theory of permutation orbifolds, covering surfaces and uniformization is investigated, and the higher genus partition functions of an arbitrary permutation orbifold are expressed in terms of those of the original…
We explore partitions that lie in the intersection of several sets of classical interest: partitions with parts indivisible by $m$, appearing fewer than $m$ times, or differing by less than $m$. We find results on their behavior and…
In this paper we present a method for constructing multiple-sum $q$-series for what is known as Mixed Mock Modular forms. We also present some multi-sum analogues of the Durfee identity, and discuss a construction of its combinatorial…
We study the perturbative large-$N$ expansion of the round three-sphere partition function in a class of M2-brane theories, including flavored SYM and ABJM theories as well as more general 3d theories admitting dual $(p,q)$ 5-brane web…
This paper contains a set of lecture notes on manifolds with boundary and corners, with particular attention to the space of quantum states. A geometrically inspired way of dealing with these kind of manifolds is presented,and explicit…
We derive the recursive relations of the partition function for the eight-vertex model on an $N\times N$ square lattice with domain wall boundary condition. Solving the recursive relations, we obtain the explicit expression of the domain…
This paper is devoted to certain applications of classical Whitney decomposition of the upper half space R^n+1 to various problems in harmonic function spaces in the upper half space.We obtain sharp new assertions on embeddings,distances…
It has long been known that to a complex cubic surface or threefold one can canonically associate a principally polarized abelian variety. We give a construction which works for cubics over an arithmetic base. This answers, away from the…
We develop the theory of minimal realizations and factorizations of rational functions where the coefficient space is a ring of the type introduced in our previous work, the scaled quaternions, which includes as special cases the…
We show a duality of branes in the topological B-model by inserting two kinds of the non-compact branes simultaneously. We explicitly derive the integral formula for the matrix model partition function describing this situation, which…
