Mustafin varieties are well-studied degenerations of projective spaces induced by a choice of integral points in a Bruhat--Tits building. In recent work, Annette Werner and the author initiated the study of degenerations of plane curves…

We study functions $f$ on $\mathbb Q$ which statisfy a ``quantum modularity'' relation of the shape $$ f(x+1)=f(x), \qquad f(x) - |x|^{-k} f(-1/x) = h(x) $$ where $h:\mathbb R_{\neq 0} \to \mathbb C$ is a function satisfying various…

Let $\textbf{X} = (X_1,\ldots, X_p)$ be a stochastic vector having joint density function $f_{\textbf{X}}(x)$ with partitions $\textbf{X}_1 = (X_1,\ldots, X_k)$ and $\textbf{X}_2 = (X_{k+1},\ldots, X_p)$. A new method for estimating the…

We show that signs of Fourier coefficients, on certain sub-families, determine the half-integral weight cuspidal eigenform uniquely, up to a positive constant. We also study sign change results for the product of the Fourier coefficients of…

New congruences are found for Andrews' smallest parts partition function spt(n). The generating function for spt(n) is related to the holomorphic part alpha(24z) of a certain weak Maass form M(z) of weight 3/2. We show that a normalized…

This thesis studies modular forms from a classical and adelic viewpoint. We use this interplay to obtain results about the arithmetic of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms and their generalisations. In Chapter 2, we compute lower…

In this paper, we investigate Fourier expansions of meromorphic modular forms. Over the years, a number of special cases of meromorphic modular forms were shown to have Fourier expansions closely resembling the expansion of the reciprocal…

In this paper we study restricted overpartitions and concave compositions. In several cases the resulting generating functions involve simultaneously modular forms, mock theta functions, mock Maass theta functions, and false theta…

We study approximations of the partition function of dense graphical models. Partition functions of graphical models play a fundamental role is statistical physics, in statistics and in machine learning. Two of the main methods for…

For a half-integral weight modular form $f = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_f(n)n^{\frac{k-1}{2}} q^n$ of weight $k = l +\frac{1}{2}$ on $\Gamma_0(4)$ such that $a_f(n)$ ($n$ $\in$ $\mathbb{N}$) are real, we prove for a fixed suitable natural number…

A formula for the dimension of the space of cuspidal modular forms on $\Gamma_0(N)$ of weight $k$ ($k\ge2$ even) has been known for several decades. More recent but still well-known is the Atkin-Lehner decomposition of this space of cusp…

Many two-dimensional conformal field theories have an alternative integrable scattering description, which reproduces their spectrum of conformal weights. Taking as an example the case of the Lee-Yang nonunitary CFT and the 3-state Potts…

We consider shape functionals obtained as minima on Sobolev spaces of classical integrals having smooth and convex densities, under mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. We propose a new approach for the computation of the second…

A numerical recipe is given for obtaining the density image of an initially compact quantum mechanical wavefunction that has expanded by a large but finite factor under free flight. The recipe given avoids the memory storage problems that…

We construct model wavefunctions for the collective modes of fractional quantum Hall systems. The wavefunctions are expressed in terms of symmetric polynomials characterized by a root partition and a "squeezed" basis, and show excellent…

Let $p$ be prime, $N$ be a positive integer prime to $p$, and $k$ be an integer. Let $P_k(t)$ be the characteristic series for Atkin's $U$ operator as an endomorphism of $p$-adic overconvergent modular forms of tame level $N$ and weight…

Motivated by a variant of Atiyah-Floer conjecture proposed in \cite{L2} and its potential generalizations, we study in this article and its sequel as a first step properties of moduli spaces of Seiberg-Witten equations on a 3-dimensional…

We present and discuss an algorithm and its implementation that is capable of directly determining Fourier expansions of any vector-valued modular form of weight at least $2$ associated with representations whose kernel is a congruence…
