A partial fraction decomposition of the Fermi function resulting in a finite sum over simple poles is proposed. This allows for efficient calculations involving the Fermi function in various contexts of electronic structure or electron…

We review our construction of the Teichm\"uller TQFT. We recall our volume conjecture for this TQFT and the examples for which this conjecture has been established. We end the paper with a brief review of our new formulation of the…

An extension of the method and results of A. Schwarz for evaluating the partition function of a quadratic functional is presented. This enables the partition functions to be evaluated for a wide class of quadratic functionals of interest in…

In this paper we study the integrals of fractional parts of given functions, and develop some new tools to understand the behaviour of prime differences. We demonstrate how simply some seemingly difficult conjectures related to prime…

In 2015, Bringmann, Lovejoy and Mahlburg considered certain kinds overpartitions, which can been seen as the overpartition analogue of Schur's partition. The motivation of their work is that the difference between the generating function of…

This article covers three topics. (1) It establishes links between the density of certain subsets of the set of primes and related subsets of the set of natural numbers. (2) It extends previous results on a conjecture of Bruinier and Kohnen…

We reconsider Chern-Simons gauge theory on a Seifert manifold M (the total space of a nontrivial circle bundle over a Riemann surface). When M is a Seifert manifold, Lawrence and Rozansky have shown from the exact solution of Chern-Simons…

This paper contains a proof of a conjecture of Braverman concerning Laumon quasiflag spaces. We consider the generating function Z(m), whose coefficients are the integrals of the equivariant Chern polynomial (with variable m) of the tangent…

We present an elementary review of some aspects of Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(N,C). We discuss some of the challenges in defining the theory as a full-fledged TQFT, as well as some successes inspired by the 3d-3d…

In this article, we explore a natural extension of the quadratic parametrization introduced in our previous work. By replacing the integer $n$ by $n^s$ ($ s\in\mathbb{R}, s>1$) and allowing the parameters to be real, we obtain for each…

The purpose of this note is to introduce a new approach to the study of one of the most basic and seemingly intractable problems in partition theory, namely the conjecture that the partition function $p(n)$ is equidistributed modulo 2. Our…

We apply some recent developments of Baldoni-Beck-Cochet-Vergne on vector partition function, to Kostant's and Steinberg's formulae, for classical Lie algebras $A\_r$, $B\_r$, $C\_r$, $D\_r$. We therefore get efficient {\tt Maple} programs…

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…

In 1904, Dickson [5] stated a very important conjecture. Now people call it Dickson's conjecture. In 1958, Schinzel and Sierpinski [14] generalized Dickson's conjecture to the higher order integral polynomial case. However, they did not…

Let (S(t)) be a one-parameter family S = (S(t)) of positive integral operators on a locally compact space L. For a possibly non-uniform partition of [0,1] define a measure on the path space C([0,1],L) by using a) S(dt) for the transition…

A number of recent papers have estimated ratios of the partition function $p(n-j)/p(n)$, which appears in many applications. Here, we prove an easy-to-use effective bound on these ratios. Using this, we then study second shifted difference…

We establish a correspondence between polynomial representations of the Temperley and Lieb algebra and certain deformations of the Quantum Hall Effect wave functions. When the deformation parameter is a third root of unity, the…

The partition perimeter is a statistic defined to be one less than the sum of the number of parts and the largest part. Recently, Amdeberhan, Andrews, and Ballantine proved the following analog of Glaisher's theorem: for all $m \geq 2$ and…

In this paper, we review the construction and large $N$ study of the continuous two-dimensional Yang--Mills theory with gauge group $\mathrm{U}(N)$ through probability, combinatorics and representation theory. In the first part, we define…

Noting a curious link between Andrews' even-odd crank and the Stanley rank, we adopt a combinatorial approach building on the map of conjugation and continue the study of integer partitions with parts separated by parity. Our motivation is…
