We formulate a stability conjecture for the coefficients of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, colored by irreducible representations in a fixed ray of a simple Lie algebra, and verify it for all torus knots and all simple Lie algebras…
We introduce and study a family of power series, which we call Theta series, whose coefficients are in the tensor square of a quantum loop algebra. They arise from a coproduct factorization of the T-series of Frenkel--Hernandez, which are…
One of the first key examples of a quantum modular form, which unifies the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants of the Poincar\'e homology sphere, appears in work of Lawrence and Zagier. We show that the series they construct is one…
In this paper, we completely classify the rational weights $k$ for which the Kaneko-Zagier (KZ) differential equation admits a fundamental system of solutions consisting of modular forms for a principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(N)$. By…
A sequence $f_n(q)$ is $q$-holonomic if it satisfies a nontrivial linear recurrence with coefficients polynomials in $q$ and $q^n$. Our main theorems state that $q$-holonomicity is preserved under twisting, i.e., replacing $q$ by $\omega q$…
We reveal an intimate connection between the torus link $T_{2s,2t}$ and the logarithmic $(s,t)$ VOA. We show that the singlet character of $(s,t)$-log VOA at the root of unity coincides with the Kashaev invariant and that it has a property…
We compute the Fourier coefficients of the weight one modular form $\eta(z)\eta(2z)\eta(3z)/\eta(6z)$ in terms of the number of representations of an integer as a sum of two squares. We deduce a relation between this modular form and…
The colored Jones function of a knot is a sequence of Laurent polynomials. It was shown by TTQ. Le and the author that such sequences are $q$-holonomic, that is, they satisfy linear $q$-difference equations with coefficients Laurent…
The "strange" function of Kontsevich and Zagier is defined by \[F(q):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(1-q)(1-q^2)\dots(1-q^n).\] This series is defined only when $q$ is a root of unity, and provides an example of what Zagier has called a "quantum modular…
In this paper we construct a modular form f of weight one attached to an imaginary quadratic field K. This form, which is non-holomorphic and not a cusp form, has several curious properties. Its negative Fourier coefficients are non-zero…
We prove an abstract modularity result for classes of Heegner divisors in the generalized Jacobian of a modular curve associated to a cuspidal modulus. Extending the Gross-Kohnen-Zagier theorem, we prove that the generating series of these…
Any two dimensional quantum field theory that can be consistently defined on a torus is invariant under modular transformations. In this paper we study families of quantum field theories labeled by a dimensionful parameter $t$, that have…
In this paper we prove a conjectured modular equation of Farkas and Kra, which involving a half sum of certain modular form of weight $1$ for congruence subgroup $\Gamma_1(k)$ with any prime $k$. We prove that their conjectured identity…
In this note, we show that the algebraicity of the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms can be determined by checking the algebraicity of the first few of them. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a…
Traces of singular moduli were introduced and studied by Zagier in 1998. Being simultaneously the (traces of) values of a modular function ($j$-invariant) and Fourier coefficients of modular forms - which constitutes Zagier's duality -…
The values of the partition function, and more generally the Fourier coefficients of many modular forms, are known to satisfy certain congruences. Results given by Ahlgren and Ono for the partition function and by Treneer for more general…
Let $C$ be an algebraically closed field containing the finite field $F_q$ and complete with respect to an absolute value $|\;|$. We prove that under suitable constraints on the coefficients, the series $f(z) = \sum_{n \in \Z} a_n z^{q^n}$…
The physical 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory T[Y] was previously used to predict the existence of some 3-manifold invariants $\hat{Z}_{a}(q)$ that take the form of power series with integer coefficients, converging in the unit disk. Their radial…
We prove divisibility results for the Fourier coefficients of canonical basis elements for the spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $0$ and levels $6, 10, 12, 18$ with poles only at the cusp at infinity. In addition, we show…
We give a short proof of Zagier's conjecture / Mersmann's theorem which states that each holomorphic eta quotient of weight 1/2 is an integral rescaling of some eta quotient from Zagier's list of fourteen primitive holomorphic eta…
