In this paper we obtain explicit formulas for mock theta functions $\Phi^{[m,s]}(\tau, z_1, z_2,t)$ $(m \in \frac12 \mathbf{N}, s \in \frac12 \mathbf{Z})$ by using the coroot lattice of the Lie superalgebra $D(2,1,a)$ and the Kac-Peterson's…
In this paper we resolve a question by Bringmann, Lovejoy, and Rolen on a new vector-valued $U$-type function. We obtain an expression for a corresponding family of Hecke-Appell-type sums in terms of mixed mock modular forms; that is, we…
The sum $S(h,k):=\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}(-1)^{j+1+[hj/k]}$ appears in the modular transformation formulae of the classical theta function $\vartheta_3(z)$. The double sum $S(k) := \sum_{h=1}^{k-1}S(h,k)$ has a remarkable distribution of values.…
Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…
This contribution reviews recent progress in constructing affine Lie algebras at arbitrary level in terms of vertex operators. The string model describes a completely compactified subcritical chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is…
We provide the formula of motivic zeta function for semi-quasihomogeneous singularities and in dimension two, we determine the poles of zeta functions. We also give another formula for stringy E-function using embedded…
We discuss the homological aspects of the connection between quantum string generating function and the formal power series associated to the dimensions of chains and homologies of suitable Lie algebras. Our analysis can be considered as a…
We introduce certain lattice sums associated with hyperplane arrangements, which are (multiple) sums running over integers, and can be regarded as generalizations of certain linear combinations of zeta-functions of root systems. We also…
We express a family of Hecke--Appell-type sums of Hikami and Lovejoy in terms of mixed mock modular forms; in particular, we express the sums in terms of Appell functions and theta functions. Hikami and Lovejoy's family of…
This is the second of two articles devoted to an exposition of the generating-function method for computing fusion rules in affine Lie algebras. The present paper focuses on fusion rules, using the machinery developed for tensor products in…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for $L$-functions attached to primitive Dirichlet characters, modular cusp forms, and their tensor products and symmetric squares, we write down explicit finite sets of Hecke operators that span the Hecke…
We study flat deformations of quotients of a polynomial algebra in a class of graded commutative associative algebras. Functional equations and their solutions in terms of theta functions play important role in these studies. An analog of…
Given a Lie algebra of type $E_8$, one can use Dynkin diagram automorphisms of the $E_6$ and $D_4$ Dynkin diagrams to locate a subalgebra of type $F_4\oplus G_2$. These automorphisms can be lifted to the affine Kac-Moody counterparts of…
Unary theta functions have played a significant role in the theory of holomorphic modular forms and modular $L$-functions. A partial theta functions is defined analogously, but the sum is over part of the integer lattice. Such sums fail to…
Boolean functions have important applications in cryptography and coding theory. Two famous classes of binary codes derived from Boolean functions are the Reed-Muller codes and Kerdock codes. In the past two decades, a lot of progress on…
The main step in numerical evaluation of classical Sl2 (Z) modular forms and elliptic functions is to compute the sum of the first N nonzero terms in the sparse q-series belonging to the Dedekind eta function or the Jacobi theta constants.…
We focus on (partial) functions that map input strings to a monoid such as the set of integers with addition and the set of output strings with concatenation. The notion of regularity for such functions has been defined using two-way…
Explicit expressions are presented for general branching functions for cosets of affine Lie algebras $\hat{g}$ with respect to subalgebras $\hat{g}^\prime$ for the cases where the corresponding finite dimensional algebras $g$ and $g^\prime$…
We discover new analytic properties of classical partial and false theta functions and their potential applications to representation theory of W-algebras and vertex algebras in general. More precisely, motivated by clues from conformal…
This paper is about certain string-to-string functions, called the polyregular functions. These are like the regular string-to-string functions, except that they can have polynomial (and not just linear) growth. The class has four…
