Recently, Amderberhan, Griffin, Ono, and Singh started the study of "traces of partition Eisenstein series" and used it to give explicit formulas for many interesting functions. In this note we determine the precise spaces in which they…
Tikhomirov (2009) proved the irreducibility of the moduli space of mathematical instantons on the projective 3-space for all odd charges. The irreducibility for charges between 1 and 5 was known before. In the present paper, the rationality…

We study periodic billiard trajectories on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, by applying Morse theory to Lagrangian action functionals on the loop space of the manifold. Based on the approximation method due to Benci-Giannoni, we…
We prove several general conditional convergence results on ergodic averages for horocycle and geodesic subgroups of any continuous action of the Lie group SL(2, R) on a locally compact space. These results are motivated by theorems of…

We shall study some moduli spaces of Bridgeland's semi-stable objects on abelian surfaces and K3 surfaces with Picard number 1. Under some conditions, we show that the moduli spaces are isomorphic to the moduli spaces of Gieseker…
In this paper we present rigorously and as succintly as possible the theory of elliptic quasi-modular forms by means of moduli spaces and the Gauss-Manin connection, and deal with one of the main historical appearances of quasi-modular…
Recently, the nodal domain counts of planar, integrable billiards with Dirichlet boundary conditions were shown to satisfy certain difference equations in [Ann. Phys. 351, 1-12 (2014)]. The exact solutions of these equations give the number…
In this paper we consider moduli spaces of coherent systems on an elliptic curve. We compute their Hodge polynomials and determine their birational types in some cases. Moreover we prove that certain moduli spaces of coherent systems are…
In this expository review we discuss various aspects of gauge theory. While the focus is on mathematics, wherever possible we make contact with theoretical high energy physics. Particular emphasis is placed on instantons and monopoles,…

We study the convergence towards the equilibrium for a dissipative and stochastic time-dependent oval billiard. The dynamics of the system is described by using a generic four dimensional nonlinear map for the variables: the angular…
