A new formula is obtained for the holomorphic bi-differential operators on tube-type domains which are associated to the decomposition of the tensor product of two scalar holomorphic representations, thus generalizing the classical…
The demand to know the structure of functionally independent invariants of tensor fields arises in many problems of theoretical and mathematical physics, for instance for the construction of interacting higher-order tensor field actions. In…
Modular categories are a well-known source of quantum 3-manifold invariants. In this paper we study structures on modular categories which allow to define refinements of quantum 3-manifold invariants involving cohomology classes or…
It is shown that a trivial version of polarization is sufficient to produce separating systems of polynomial invariants: if two points in the direct sum of the $G$--modules $W$ and $m$ copies of $V$ can be separated by polynomial…
This is an expository article on the theory of algebraic stacks. After introducing the general theory, we concentrate in the example of the moduli stack of vector budles, giving a detailed comparison with the moduli scheme obtained via…
These are the lecture notes from my portion of a mini-course for the summer school "Building Bridges 3" that was held in Sarajevo during July 2016. My lectures covered the Katz definition of modular forms, a family of forms defined from…
A survey of some results and open questions related to the following algebraic invariants of compact complex manifolds, that can be obtained from differential forms: cohomology groups, Chern classes, rational homotopy groups, and higher…
Let G be a finite group acting linearly on the polynomial ring with invariant ring R. If the action is small, then a classical result of Auslander gives in dimension two a correspondence between linear representations of G and maximal…
We formulate a notion of modular form on the double half-plane for half-integral weights and explain its relationship to the usual notion of modular form. The construction we provide is compatible with certain physical considerations due to…
Both a general and a diagonal u-invariant for forms of higher degree are defined, generalizing the u-invariant of quadratic forms. Both old and new results on these invariants are collected.
The goal of these lectures is to present an informal but precise introduction to a body of concepts and methods of interest in number theory and string theory revolving around modular forms and their generalizations. Modular invariance lies…
The classical modular polynomial for $j$-invariants describes the relation between two elliptic curves connected by isogenies. This polynomial has been applied to various algorithms in computational number theory, such as point counting on…
In this paper we propose a theory of contact invariants and open string invariants, which are generalizations of the relative invariants. We introduce two moduli spaces $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{A}(M^{+},C,g,m+\nu,{\bf y},{\bf…
We functorially identify similarity classes of line-bundle-valued quadratic forms on rank two vector bundles with isomorphism classes of pairs consisting of the degree zero and the degree one parts of the associated generalized Clifford…
We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…
In this lecture we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. Our analysis is based on an approach to modular invariants using braided sector induction…
We characterize all logarithmic, holomorphic vector-valued modular forms which can be analytically continued to a region strictly larger than the upper half-plane.
Modular and quasimodular solutions of specific second order differential equation in the upper-half plane which originates from a study of supersingular j-invariants are given explicitly. A characterization of the differential equation is…
In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…
The basic concepts of factorizable problems in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics, as well as the theory of Shape Invariant potentials are reviewed. The relation of this last theory with a generalization of the classical Factorization Method…
