We find that multiple vertex algebras can arise from a single 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT). The connection is given by the BPS monodromy operator $M$, which is a wall-crossing invariant quantity that captures the…
We determine invariants like the Smith normal form and the determinant for certain integral matrices which arise from the character tables of the symmetric groups S_n and their double covers. In particular, we give a simple computation,…
The paper studies how to compute irreducible characters of the generalized symmetric group $C_k\wr{S}_n$ by iterative algorithms. After reproving the Ariki-Koike version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule by vertex algebraic methods, we…
R. Stanley has found a nice combinatorial formula for characters of irreducible representations of the symmetric group of rectangular shape. Then, he has given a conjectural generalisation for any shape. Here, we will prove this formula…
We study modular properties of the AdS3 WZNW model. Although the Euclidean partition function is modular invariant, the characters on the Euclidean torus are ill-defined and their modular transformations are unknown. We reconsider the…
First, we prove the Kac-Wakimoto conjecture on modular invariance of characters of exceptional affine W-algebras. In fact more generally we prove modular invariance of characters of all lisse W-algebras obtained through Hamiltonian…
We develop the theory of $q$-characters for quantum affine superalgebras of type $A$ in connection with deformed Cartan matrices. To achieve this, we establish a Khoroshkin-Tolstoy-type multiplicative formula of the universal $R$-matrix of…
We propose a contour integral-based algorithm for computing a few singular values of a matrix or a few generalized singular values of a matrix pair. Mathematically, the generalized singular values of a matrix pair are the eigenvalues of an…
The fixed point resolution problem is solved for diagonal coset theories. The primary fields into which the fixed points are resolved are described by submodules of the branching spaces, obtained as eigenspaces of the automorphisms that…
The famous Kazhdan-Lusztig Conjecture of the 1970s states that the multiplicity of an irreducible composition factor of a Verma module can be computed by evaluating Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials at 1. Thus the character of a Verma module is a…
We compute the modular transformation formula of the characters for a certain family of (finitely or uncountably many) simple modules over the simple $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator superalgebra of central charge…
Given $n \in \mathbf{N},$ consider the imprimitive wreath product $C_2 \wr S_n.$ We study the structure of modules whose ordinary characters form an involution model of $FC_2 \wr S_n,$ where $F$ is a field of odd prime characteristic. We…
A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…
We give formulae relating the value of an irreducible character of a classical group at a matrix to entries of powers of the matrix. This yields a far-reaching generalization of a result of J. L. Cisneros-Molina concerning the $GL_2$ case.
We give an elementary proof of the Bazhanov-Reshetikhin determinant formula for rational transfer matrices of the twisted quantum super-spin chains associated with the gl(K|M) algebra. This formula describes the most general fusion of…
Conjectured links between the distribution of values taken by the characteristic polynomials of random orthogonal matrices and that for certain families of L-functions at the centre of the critical strip are used to motivate a series of…
We study modularity of the characters of a vertex (super)algebra equipped with a family of conformal structures. Along the way we introduce the notions of rationality and cofiniteness relative to such a family. We apply the results to…
We define Hecke operators on vector-valued modular forms of the type that appear as characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs). These operators extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of the modular representation and…
In this note, we describe two analogues of the Verlinde formula for modular categories in a twisted setting. The classical Verlinde formula for a modular category $\mathscr{C}$ describes the fusion coefficients of $\mathscr{C}$ in terms of…
Residue number systems based on pairwise relatively prime moduli are a powerful tool for accelerating integer computations via the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We study a structured family of moduli of the form $2^n - 2^k + 1$, originally…
