In this paper we find automorphic functions of coset manifolds with special K\"ahler geometry. We use \zeta-functions to regularize an infinite product over integers which belong to a duality-invariant lattice, this product is known to…

In the present paper, we show that the motivic Hilbert zeta function for a curve singularity yields the generating functions for Euler numbers of punctual Hilbert schemes when any punctual Hilbert scheme admits an affine cell decomposition.…

We study the monopole contribution to the refined Vafa-Witten invariant, recently defined by Maulik and Thomas [13]. We apply results of Gholampour and Thomas [7] to prove a universality result for the generating series of contributions of…

Inspired by the theory of JT supergravity, Stanford-Witten derived a remarkable recursion formula of Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli space of super Riemann surfaces. It is the super version of the celebrated Mirzakhani's recursion formula.…

New heterotic modular invariants are found using the level-rank duality of affine Kac-Moody algebras. They provide strong evidence for the consistency of an infinite list of heterotic Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) conformal field theories. We…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^m$ be an open, connected and bounded set and $\mathcal{A}(\Omega)$ be a function algebra of holomorphic functions on $\Omega$. In this article we study quotient Hilbert modules obtained from submodules,…

In this paper, we study the analytic properties of solutions to the Vafa-Witten equation over a compact Kaehler manifold. Simple obstructions to the existence of nontrivial solutions are identified. The gauge theoretical compactness for the…

In this paper, we introduce and study two new types of non-abelian zeta functions for curves over finite fields, which are defined by using (moduli spaces of) semi-stable vector bundles and non-stable bundles. A Riemann-Weil type hypothesis…

We compute the Moore-Witten regularized u-plane integral on CP^2, and we confirm their conjecture that it is the generating function for the SO(3)-Donaldson invariants of CP^2. We prove this conjecture using the theory of mock theta…

We provide a definition of Tanaka-Thomas's Vafa-Witten invariants for \'etale gerbes over smooth projective surfaces using the moduli spaces of $\mu_r$-gerbe twisted sheaves and Higgs sheaves. Twisted sheaves and their moduli are naturally…

We regard the work of Maulik and Toda, proposing a sheaf-theoretic approach to Gopakumar-Vafa invariants, as defining a BPS structure, that is, a collection of BPS invariants together with a central charge. Assuming their conjectures, we…

We show that there exist flat surface bundles with closed leaves having non-trivial normal bundles. This leads us to compute the Abelianisation of surface diffeomorphism groups with marked points. We also extend a formula of Tsuboi that…

By the theory of Eisenstein series, generating functions of various divisor functions arise as modular forms. It is natural to ask whether further divisor functions arise systematically in the theory of mock modular forms. We establish,…
