We derive formulas and algorithms for Kitaev's invariants in the periodic table for topological insulators and superconductors for finite disordered systems on lattices with boundaries. We find that K-theory arises as an obstruction to…
Generalizing the problem of counting rational points on curves and surfaces over finite fields, we consider the setting of $n \times n$ matrix points with finite field entries. We obtain exact formulas for matrix point counts on elliptic…
We use the theory of the quantum group $U_q(gl(2,\RR))$ in order to develop a quantum theory of invariants and show a decomposition of invariants into a Gordan-Capelli series. Higher binary forms are introduced on the basis of braided…
In this thesis we study the relation between scattering diagrams and deformations of holomorphic pairs, building on a recent work of Chan--Conan Leung--Ma. The new feature is the extended tropical vertex group where the scattering diagrams…
We make explicit a construction of Serre giving a definition of an algebraic Sato-Tate group associated to an abelian variety over a number field, which is conjecturally linked to the distribution of normalized L-factors as in the usual…
In this paper we offer some new identities associated with mock theta functions and establish new Bailey pairs related to indefinite quadratic forms. We believe our proof is instructive use of changing base of Bailey pairs, and offers new…
In a recent paper Ahlgren, Ono and Penniston described the L-series of K3 surfaces from a certain one parameter family in terms of those of a particular family of elliptic curves. The Tate conjecture predicts the existence of a…
We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…
We compute the complete set of candidates for the zeta function of a K3 surface over F_2 consistent with the Weil conjectures, as well as the complete set of zeta functions of smooth quartic surfaces over F_2. These sets differ…
The elliptic genera of the K3 surfaces, both compact and non-compact cases, are studied by using the theory of mock theta functions. We decompose the elliptic genus in terms of the N=4 superconformal characters at level-1, and present an…
Let $A/\mathbb{Q}$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g\geq 1$ that is isogenous over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ to $E^g$, where $E$ is an elliptic curve. If $E$ does not have complex multiplication (CM), by results of Ribet and Elkies…
Recent progress in string theory has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be understood in topological terms. We describe in detail how to…
An important problem from invariant theory is to describe the subspace of a tensor power of a representation invariant under the action of the group. According to Weyl's classic, the first main (later: 'fundamental') theorem of invariant…
The aim of this paper is to study certain family of elliptic curves $\{\mathscr{X}_H\}_H$ defined over a number field $F$ arising from hyperplane sections of some cubic surface $\mathscr{X}/F$ associated to a cyclic cubic extension $K/F$.…
We consider deformations of a toroidal orbifold $T^4/Z_2$ and an orbifold of quartic in $CP^3$. In the $T^4/Z_2$ case, we construct a family of noncommutative K3 surfaces obtained via both complex and noncommutative deformations. We do this…
We present a formula expressing Earle's twisted 1-cocycle on the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus >=2 relative to a fixed base point, with coefficients in the first homology group of the surface. For this purpose we…
We describe a general algorithm for computing intersection pairings on arithmetic surfaces. We have implemented our algorithm for curves over $\mathbb Q$, and we show how to use it to compute regulators for a number of Jacobians of smooth…
Classical knot theory deals with {\em diagrams} and {\em invariants}. By means of horizontal {\em trisecants}, we construct a new theory of classical braids with invariants valued in {\em pictures}. These pictures are closely related to…
We continue our development of the invariant theory of genus one curves with the aim of computing certain twists of the universal family of elliptic curves parametrised by the modular curve X(n) for n = 2,3,4,5. Our construction makes use…
In a previous paper, we announced a formula to compute Gromov-Witten and Welschinger invariants of some toric varieties, in terms of combinatorial objects called floor diagrams. We give here detailed proofs in the tropical geometry…
