We consider the mixed topological-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory introduced by Costello, Yamazaki and Witten on a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold. We use this to construct semi-classical solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation in the…
We construct a class of companion elliptic functions associated with the even Dirichlet characters. Using the well-known properties of the classical Weierstrass elliptic function $\wp(z|\tau)$ as the blueprint, we will derive their…
The Neumann problem on an ellipsoid in R^n asks for a function harmonic inside the ellipsoid whose normal derivative is some specified function on the ellipsoid. We solve this problem when the specified function on the ellipsoid is a…
We give a brief account of the key properties of elliptic hypergeometric integrals -- a relatively recently discovered top class of transcendental special functions of hypergeometric type. In particular, we describe an elliptic…
A proof of several identities of Ramanujan involving theta functions of level $7$ is given which uses a specific modular function for $\Gamma_1(7)$ and Klein's projective representation of $PSL(2,7)$ into $PSL(3, \mathbb{C})$. Four…
A rigorous algebraic proof of the full finiteness in all orders of perturbation theory is given for the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory in a general three-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We show the validity of a trace identity, playing the…
In 1991, the Borweins established a cubic analogue of Jacobi's identity for theta functions, which is used by B.C. Berndt, S. Bhargava, and F.G. Garvan in the development of Ramanujan's cubic theory of elliptic functions. In 2013, D.…
In 1914, Ramanujan gave a list of 17 identities expressing $1/\pi$ as linear combinations of values of hypergeometric functions at certain rational numbers. Since then, identities of similar nature have been discovered by many authors.…
We verify a conjecture proposed by X. Chen and Y. Shi, which arises from their study of the Green function on spheres in Euclidean space. More precisely, let $M\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a closed $C^{2}$ embedded surface and suppose that…
A topological model in three dimensions is proposed. It combines the Chern-Simons action with a BFK-model which was investigated recently by the authors of hep-th/9906146. The finiteness of the model to all orders of perturbation theory is…
In this paper, the power series and hypergeometric series representations of the beta and Ramanujan functions \begin{equation*} \mathcal{B}\left( x\right) =\frac{\Gamma \left( x\right)^{2}}{\Gamma \left( 2x\right) }\text{ and…
On bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d , d \geq 2$, reaching far beyond the scope of Lipschitz domains, we consider an elliptic system of order $2 m$ in divergence form with complex $\mathrm{L}^{\infty}$-coefficients complemented…
In this paper, we revisit the recent result of Luo, Xu, and Raina [Fractal Fract. 6 (3) (2022)] on an Erd\'{e}lyi-type integral for Saran's three-variable hypergeometric function $F_K$. We provide a new proof of this integral and derive an…
A generalization of a beautiful $q$-series identity found in the unorganized portion of Ramanujan's second and third notebooks is obtained. As a consequence, we derive a new three-parameter identity which is a rich source of…
This is a brief overview of the status of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions to the end of 2012 written as a complementary chapter to the Russian edition of the book by G.E. Andrews, R. Askey, and R. Roy, Special Functions,…
We give a simple geometric argument to derive in a common manner orthospectrum identities of Basmajian and Bridgeman. Our method also considerably simplifies the determination of the summands in these identities. For example, for every odd…
In this short note we review some facts about elliptic differential operators on Riemannian manifolds.
We study the line defect half-indices of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons (CS) theories with (special)unitary, symplectic, orthogonal and exceptional gauge groups. We find that they have several beautiful infinite product…
The present paper is devoted to the study of Appell hypergeometric function $F_3$ from discrete point of view. We mainly introduce two generalized discrete forms of $F_3$ and study their basic properties \emph{viz.} regions of convergence,…
We classify elliptic K3 surfaces in characteristic $p$ with $p^n$-torsion sections. For $p^n\geq3$ we verify conjectures of Artin and Shioda, compute the heights of their formal Brauer groups, as well as Artin invariants and Mordell--Weil…
