The method of topological vertex for topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds is reviewed. Implications of an explicit formula of partition functions in the "on-strip" case, typically the generalized conifolds, are considered.…

By employing contour integration the derivation of a generalized double finite series involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function is used to derive closed form formulae in terms of special functions. We use this procedure to find special…

Dedekind sums, arithmetic correlation sums that arose in Dedekind's study of the modular transformation of the logarithm of the eta-function, are surprisingly ubiquitous. Their arithmetic properties attracted the attention of number…

This article contains a summary of the author's contributions, one in collaboration with K. Bardakci, to dual models and string theory prior to the mid-seventies. Other workers' contributions, during and subsequent to this period, are…

For a particular class of backgrounds, equations of motion for string sigma models targeted in mutually dual Poisson-Lie groups are equivalent. This phenomenon is called the Poisson-Lie T-duality. On the level of the corresponding string…

We introduce matching functions as a means of summing heavy-quark logarithms to any order. Our analysis is based on Witten's approach, where heavy quarks are decoupled one at a time in a mass-independent renormalization scheme. The outcome…

In this paper we review the coset construction for winding subalgebras of affine Lie algebras. We classify all cosets of central charge $\hat c<1$ and calculate their branching rules. The corresponding character identities give certain…

We introduce cell modules for the tabular algebras defined in a previous work (math.QA/0107230); these modules are analogous to the representations arising from left Kazhdan--Lusztig cells. The standard modules of the title are constructed…

Theta functions for definite signature lattices constitute a rich source of modular forms. A natural question is then their generalization to indefinite signature lattices. One way to ensure a convergent theta series while keeping the…

We present explicit formulas for Hecke eigenforms as linear combinations of q-analogues of modified double zeta values. As an application, we obtain period polynomial relations and sum formulas for these modified double zeta values. These…

This paper investigates the connections between buildings and Hecke algebras through the combinatorial study of two algebras spanned by averaging operators on buildings. As a consequence we obtain a geometric and combinatorial description…

Using certain results for the vertex operator algebras associated with affine Lie algebras we obtain recurrence relations for the characters of integrable highest weight irreducible modules for an affine Lie algebra. As an application we…

A two-term functional equation for an infinite series involving the digamma function and a logarithmic factor is derived. A modular relation on page 220 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook as well as a corresponding recent result for the…

We use induction from parabolic subalgebras with infinite-dimensional Levi factor to construct new families of irreducible representations for arbitrary Affine Kac-Moody algebra. Our first construction defines a functor from the category of…

We prove that indecomposable $\Sigma$-pure-injective modules for a string algebra are string or band modules. The key step in our proof is a splitting result for infinite-dimensional linear relations.

We study the class of pulsating strings in AdS_5 x Y^{p,q} and AdS_5 x L^{p,q,r}. Using a generalized ansatz for pulsating string configurations, we find new solutions for this class in terms of Heun functions, and derive the particular…

We derive the kinematic numerator factors for heavy-mass effective field theory from the field theory limit of the string theory vertex operator kinematic algebra introduced in arXiv:1806.09584. The kinematic numerators are derived as…

The space spanned by the characters of twisted affine Lie algebras admit the action of certain congruence subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. By embedding the characters in the space spanned by theta functions, we study an…

We introduce the spin Hecke algebra, which is a q-deformation of the spin symmetric group algebra, and its affine generalization. We establish an algebra isomorphism which relates our spin (affine) Hecke algebras to the (affine)…
