Given a pivotal module category over a spherical fusion category, we introduce the encircling module, a module over the fusion algebra defined using the pivotal structure, and prove that it is isomorphic to the NIM-rep as a fusion algebra…

We consider a class of gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) in two dimensions that flow to non-compact (2,2) superconformal field theories in the infra-red, a prototype of which is the SL(2,\IR)/U(1) (cigar) coset. We compute the elliptic…

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem, a cornerstone of modern mathematics, has traditionally been derived from supersymmetric (SUSY) physics. This paper demonstrates a direct derivation from non-supersymmetric quantum statistics by establishing…

Let $\ell \geq 5$ be a prime, and let $\nu_\eta$ denote the Dedekind eta multiplier. For an odd integer $r$, and a real Dirichlet character $\psi$, recent work of Ahlgren, Andersen, and the author showed that quadratic congruences modulo…

We construct a previously missing $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant for three-dimensional band structures in symmetry class CI defined by parity-time (PT) and parity-particle-hole (PC) symmetries. PT symmetry allows one to define a real…

It is shown that a novel anomaly associated with transverse Ward-Takahashi identity exists for pseudo-tensor current in QED, and the anomaly gives rise to a topological index of Dirac operator in terms of Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

Gross-Pandharipande-Siebert have shown that the 2-dimensional Kontsevich-Soibelman scattering diagrams compute certain genus zero log Gromov-Witten invariants of log Calabi-Yau surfaces. We show that the $q$-refined 2-dimensional…

We develop a microlocal and derived-geometric framework for index theory and analytic torsion of nonlinear PDEs. By integrating Spencer hypercohomology, microlocal sheaf theory, and factorization algebras, we establish new connections…

We define the gauge-equivariant index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a family $\GR \to B$ of Lie groups (these families are called ``gauge-invariant families'' in what follows). If the fibers…

The classical modular equations involve bivariate polynomials that can be seen to be univariate with coefficients in the modular invariant $j$. Kiepert found modular equations relating some $\eta$-quotients and the Weber functions…

We derive a holomorphic anomaly equation for the Vafa-Witten partition function for twisted four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} =4$ super Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{CP}^{2}$ for the gauge group $SO(3)$ from the path integral of the effective…

We propose a theory, that we call the \textit{mode-shell correspondence}, which relates the topological zero-modes localised in phase space to a \textit{shell} invariant defined on the surface forming a shell enclosing these zero-modes. We…

This is a survey of the relationship between C*-algebraic deformation quantization and the tangent groupoid in noncommutative geometry, emphasizing the role of index theory. We first explain how C*-algebraic versions of deformation…

We study the behavior of the Iwasawa invariants of the Iwasawa modules which appear in Kato's main conjecture without $p$-adic $L$-functions under congruences. It generalizes the work of Greenberg-Vatsal, Emerton-Pollack-Weston, B.D. Kim,…

The purpose of this paper is to give a new proof of results of Moscovici and Stanton on the orbital integrals associated with eta invariants on compact locally symmetric spaces. Moscovici and Stanton used methods of harmonic analysis on…

The study of the partition function in M-theory involves the use of index theory on a twelve-dimensional bounding manifold. In eleven dimensions, viewed as a boundary, this is given by secondary index invariants such as the…

Since any string theory involves a path integration on the world-sheet metric, their partition functions are volume forms on the moduli space of genus g Riemann surfaces M_g, or on its super analog. It is well known that modular invariance…

The Atiyah-Singer index theorem is generalized to a two-dimensional SO(3) Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) system. The generalized theorem is proven by using the heat kernel method and a nonlinear realization of SU(2) gauge symmetry. This theorem is…

We generalise the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point theorem to noncompact manifolds. Using $KK$-theory, we extend the equivariant index to the noncompact setting, and obtain a fixed point formula for it. The fixed point formula is the…

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…
