We introduce a notion of generalized modular functors with Hilbert spaces of infinite dimension in general, and show that a generalized modular functor with data of conformal dimensions determines uniquely wave functions as its flat…

We recall the structure of the indecomposable sl(2) modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category O. We show that all these modules can arise as quantized phase spaces of physical models. In particular, we demonstrate in a path integral…

We define a generalisation of the completed Riemann zeta function in several complex variables. It satisfies a functional equation, shuffle product identities, and has simple poles along finitely many hyperplanes, with a recursive structure…

We prove that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic Maass forms are traces of singular moduli for weak Maass forms. To prove this theorem, we construct a theta lift from spaces of weight -2 harmonic weak Maass forms to spaces of…

For an arbitrary reductive group $G$, we compute the infinitesimal automorphisms of $L$-valued principal $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$, extending known results for $\Omega_X^{1}$-valued $G$-Higgs bundles. Using this…

We introduce the method of desingularization of multi-variable multiple zeta-functions (of the generalized Euler-Zagier type), under the motivation of finding suitable rigorous meaning of the values of multiple zeta-functions at…

Ordinary theta-functions can be considered as holomorphic sections of line bundles over tori. We show that one can define generalized theta-functions as holomorphic elements of projective modules over noncommutative tori (theta-vectors).…

We consider a generating function for the number of conformal blocks in rational conformal field theories with an even central charge c on a genus g Riemann surface. It defines an entropy functional on the moduli space of conformal field…

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…

We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…

We describe a supersymmetric generalization of the construction of Kontsevich and Arbarello, De Concini, Kac, and Procesi, which utilizes a relation between the moduli space of curves with the infinite-dimensional Sato Grassmannian. Our…

For any additive functor from modules (or, more generally, from an abelian category with enough projectives or injectives), we construct long sequences tying up together the derived functors, the satellites, and the stabilizations of the…

We form a generating series of regularized volumes of intersections of special cycles on a non-compact unitary Shimura variety with a fixed base change cycle. We show that it is a Hilbert modular form by identifying it with a theta…

We use Morse theory of the Yang-Mills functional to compute the Betti numbers of the moduli stack of flat U(3)-bundles over a compact nonorientable surface. Our result establishes the antiperfection conjecture of Ho-Liu, and provides…

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…

In this paper, we initiate the study of endomorphisms and modular theory of the graph C*-algebras $\O_{\theta}$of a 2-graph $\Fth$ on a single vertex. We prove that there is a semigroup isomorphism between unital endomorphisms of…

For any scheme $M$ with a perfect obstruction theory, Jiang and Thomas associate a scheme $N$ with symmetric perfect obstruction theory. The scheme $N$ is a cone over $M$ given by the dual of the obstruction sheaf of $M$, and contains $M$…

The classical construction of the Weil representation, with complex coefficients, has long been expected to work for more general coefficient rings. This paper exhibits the minimal ring $\mathcal{A}$ for which this is possible, the integral…

We consider a simple perturbation of the Vafa-Witten equations, and prove that for generic perturbation parameter, the full rank part of the perturbed Vafa-Witten moduli space satisfies transversality condition, when the structure group is…

We express nested Hilbert schemes of points and curves on a smooth projective surface as "virtual resolutions" of degeneracy loci of maps of vector bundles on smooth ambient spaces. We show how to modify the resulting obstruction theories…
