We consider the geometrical addition law on the elliptic curve in Tate coordinates. It corresponds to the general formal group law over the ring of polynomials with integer coefficients of the parametra of the curve. We study the structure…
The Hirzebruch functional equation is \[ \sum_{i = 1}^{n} \prod_{j \ne i} { 1 \over f(z_j - z_i)} = c \] with constant $c$ and initial conditions $f(0)=0, f'(0)=1$. In this paper we find all solutions of the Hirzebruch functional equation…
The paper is devoted to problems at the intersection of formal group theory, the theory of Hirzebruch genera, and the theory of elliptic functions. The elliptic function of level N determines the elliptic genus of level N as a Hirzebruch…
We give a new derivation and characterisation of the generalised elliptic genus of Krichever-H\"ohn by means of a functional equation.
We obtain general formulae expressing Hirzebruch genera of a manifold with Z/p-action in terms of invariants of this action (the sets of weights of fixed points). As an illustration, we consider numerous particular cases of well-known…
The classical multiplicative (Hirzebruch) genera of manifolds have the wonderful property which is called rigidity. Rigidity of a genus h means that if a compact connected Lie group G acts on a manifold X, then the equivariant genus h^G(X)…
The work is dedicated to the theory of elliptic functions of level $n$. An elliptic function of level $n$ determines a Hirzebruch genus that is called elliptic genus of level $n$. Elliptic functions of level $n$ are also interesting as…
Several independent articles have observed that the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$-genus has an important feature, which the author calls -1-phenomenon and tells us that the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of the $\chi_y$-genus at $y=-1$ have…
We examine the coefficients in front of Chern numbers for complex genera, and pay special attention to the $\text{Td}^{\frac{1}{2}}$-genus, the $\Gamma$-genus as well as the Todd genus. Some related geometric applications to…
This paper continues the study of the ellipsoid embedding function of symplectic Hirzebruch surfaces parametrized by $b \in (0,1)$, the size of the symplectic blow-up. Cristofaro-Gardiner, et al. (arxiv: 2004.13062) found that if the…
Following Brooks's calculation of the $\hat{A}$-genus of complete intersections, a new and more computable formula about the $\hat{A}$-genus and $\alpha$-invariant will be described as polynomials of multi-degree and dimension. We also give…
We prove that if a complex genus $\varphi \colon \varOmega^U \to R$ is rigid on $SU$-manifolds with a torus action then $\varphi$ is the elliptic Krichever genus.
The rigidity theorem of Witten-Bott-Taubes-Hirzebruch tells us that, if the circle group acts on a closed almost complex (or more generally unitary) manifold whose first Chern class is divisible by a positive integer N greater than 1, then…
For a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p\geq 5$ and $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, we consider the family of elliptic curves $E_d$ over $K$ given by $y^2+xy - t^dy=x^3$ for all integers $d$ coprime to $q$. We provide an explicit…
In 1956 Hirzebruch found an explicit formula for the denominators of the Todd polynomials, which was proved later in his joint work with Atiyah. We present a new formula for the Todd polynomials in terms of the ``forgotten symmetric…
Double Hurwitz numbers enumerating weighted $n$-sheeted branched coverings of the Riemann sphere or, equivalently, weighted paths in the Cayley graph of $S_n$ generated by transpositions are determined by an associated weight generating…
The paper is based on a talk. Complete exposition is given in "Equivariant Hirzebruch class for singular varieties". Starting from the classical theory we describe Hirzebruch class and the related Todd genus of a complex singular algebraic…
We introduce a new class of formal group laws whose modulus square construction yields Buchstaber's family of polynomials. This class is related to, but does not coincide with, the family of formal group laws associated with the Krichever…
We calculate the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$ and $\hat{\chi}_y$-genera of symmetric products of closed complex manifolds by the holomorphic Lefschetz formula of Atiyah and Singer \cite{Ati-Sin}. Such calculation rederive some formulas proved in an…
We prove that a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ is Toeplitz if and only if there are a Dirichlet character $\chi$ and a finite subset $F$ of prime numbers such that $f(n)=\chi(n)$ for each $n$ which is coprime to all…
