We begin by reviewing Zhu's theorem on modular invariance of trace functions associated to a vertex operator algebra, as well as a generalisation by the author to vertex operator superalgebras. This generalisation involves objects that we…

The notion of interchange of two multiplicative structures on a topological space is encoded by the tensor product of the two operads parametrizing these structures. Intuitively one might thus expect that the tensor product of an E_m and an…

This paper is essentially a short version of hep-th/9404046. We compute multiplicative anomaly det(AB)/(detA detB) =F(A,B) for elliptic pseudo-differential operators (PDOs) A, B on a closed manifold M in terms of their symbols. We prove…

We revisit traces of holomorphic families of pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold in view of geometric applications. We then transpose the corresponding analytic constructions to two different geometric frameworks; the…

A bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be recurrent if for every non-empty open subset $U\subset \mathcal{H}$ there is an integer $n$ such that $T^n (U)\cap U\neq\emptyset$. In this paper, we…

The extended bigraded Toda hierarchy (EBTH) is an integrable system satisfied by the Gromov-Witten total descendant potential of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with two orbifold points. We write a bilinear equation for the tau-function of the EBTH and…

We study enumeration problems for multi-operator monomials generated from one indeterminate by an associative multiplication together with finitely many unary operators. We consider four regimes, according to whether multiplication is…

This paper continues the study of combinatorial properties of binary functions --- that is, functions $f:2^E\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ such that $f(\emptyset)=1$, where $E$ is a finite set. Binary functions have previously been shown to admit…

Each symmetrically-normed ideal $\mathcal{I}$ of compact operators on a Hilbert space $H$ induces a multiplier topology $\mu^*_{\mathcal{I}}$ on the algebra $\mathcal{B}(H)$ of bounded operators. We show that under fairly reasonable…

We develop a calculus based on graph enumeration for $S_n$-equivariant motivic invariants of graphically stratified moduli spaces. We apply our theory to the Deligne--Mumford moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g, n}$ and to the space of…

The focus of this paper is on Ahlfors $Q$-regular compact sets $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ such that, for each $Q-2<\alpha\le 0$, the weighted measure $\mu_{\alpha}$ given by integrating the density $\omega(x)=\text{dist}(x, E)^\alpha$ yields a…

A modified trace for a finite k-linear pivotal category is a family of linear forms on endomorphism spaces of projective objects which has cyclicity and so-called partial trace properties. We show that a non-degenerate modified trace…

In modular invariant models of flavor, observables must be modular invariant. The observables discussed so far in the literature are functions of the modulus $\tau$ and its conjugate, $\bar\tau$. We point out that certain combinations of…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold, $V$ the space of a representation $\rho: GL(n)\longrightarrow GL(V)$. Locally, let $T(V)$ be the space of sections of the tensor bundle with fiber $V$ over a sufficiently small open set $U\subset M$,…

We establish higher order trace formulas for pairs of contractions along a multiplicative path generated by a self-adjoint operator in a Schatten-von Neumann ideal, removing earlier stringent restrictions on the kernel and defect operator…

In this paper, we prove that into isometries and disjointness preserving linear maps from $C_0(X)$ into $C_0(Y)$ are essentially weighted composition operators $Tf = h\cdot f\circ\varphi$ for some continuous map $\varphi$ and some…

We study "partition Eisenstein series", extensions of the Eisenstein series $G_{2k}(\tau),$ defined by $$\lambda=(1^{m_1}, 2^{m_2},\dots, k^{m_k}) \vdash k \ \ \ \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ \ \ G_{\lambda}(\tau):= G_2(\tau)^{m_1}…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a linear space equipped with an indefinite inner product $[\cdot, \cdot]$. Denote by $\mathcal{F}_{++}=\{f\in\mathcal{H} \ : \ [f,f]>0\}$ the nonlinear set of positive vectors in $\mathcal{H}$. We demonstrate that the…

Let $\mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra with separable predual and let $T\in \mathcal M$. We call $T$ an irreducible operator (relative to $\mathcal M$) if $W^*(T)$ is an irreducible subfactor of $\mathcal M$, i.e., $W^*(T)'\cap…

Let ${\mathcal B}(H)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be subsets of ${\mathcal B}(H)$ which contain all rank one operators.…
