The elliptic genera of two-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories can be twisted by the action of the integral Heisenberg group if their U(1) charges are fractional. The basic properties of the resulting twisted elliptic genera and…
We construct a generalized Witten genus for spin$^c$ manifolds, which takes values in level 1 modular forms with integral Fourier expansion on a class of spin$^c$ manifolds called string$^c$ manifolds. We also construct a mod 2 analogue of…
We analyze the characteristic series, the $KO$ series and the series associated with the Witten genus, and their analytic forms as the $q$-analogs of classical special functions (in particular $q$-analog of the beta integral and the gamma…
We discuss the basic properties of various versions of two variable elliptic genus with special attention to the equivariant elliptic genus. The main applications are to the elliptic genera attached to non-compact GITs, including the…
Recently Witten proposed to consider elliptic genus in $N=2$ superconformal field theory to understand the relation between $N=2$ minimal models and Landau-Ginzburg theories. In this paper we first discuss the basic properties satisfied by…
Witten recently gave further evidence for the conjectured relationship between the $A$ series of the $N=2$ minimal models and certain Landau-Ginzburg models by computing the elliptic genus for the latter. The results agree with those of the…
A kind of two-variable elliptic genus for almost-complex manifolds was introduced by Ping Li and its various properties were established by him. In this paper, we define a two-variable elliptic genus for odd dimensional spin manifolds which…
The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of…
By some SL(2, Z) modular forms introduced in [4] and [10], we construct some modular forms over SL2(Z) and some modular forms over {\Gamma}^0(2) and {\Gamma}_0(2) in odd dimensions. In parallel, we obtain some new cancellation formulas for…
We consider families of theories with large N=4 superconformal symmetry. We define an index generalizing the elliptic genus of theories with N=2 symmetry. In contrast to the N=2 case, the new index constrains part of the non-BPS spectrum.…
We investigate elliptic operators with a symmetry that forces their index to vanish. We study the secondary index, defined modulo 2. We examine Callias-type operators with this symmetry on non-compact manifolds and establish mod 2 versions…
The elliptic genus for arbitrary two dimensional $N=2$ Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds is computed. This is used to search for possible mirror pairs of such models. An important aspect of this work is that there is no restriction to theories for…
The interplay between supersymmetry and classical and quantum computation is discussed. First, it is shown that the problem of computing the Witten index of $\mathcal N \leq 2$ quantum mechanical systems is $\#P$-complete and therefore…
We consider Seiberg electric-magnetic dualities for 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM theories with SO(N) gauge group. For all such known theories we construct superconformal indices (SCIs) in terms of elliptic hypergeometric integrals. Equalities of…
We discuss an algebro-geometric description of Witten's phases of N=2 theories and propose a definition of their elliptic genus provided some conditions on singularities of the phases are met. For Landau-Ginzburg phase one recovers elliptic…
The elliptic genus (EG) of a compact complex manifold was introduced as a holomorphic Euler characteristic of some formal power series with vector bundle coefficients. EG is an automorphic form in two variables only if the manifold is a…
In this paper, we define a generalized elliptic genus of an almost complex manifold with an extra complex bundle which generalize the elliptic genus in [10]. This generalized elliptic genus is a generalized Jacobi form. By this generalized…
A quantum mechanical model that realizes the $ \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalization of the one-dimensional supertranslation algebra is proposed. This model shares some features with the well-known Witten model and is…
Motivated by the cubic forms and anomaly cancellation formulas of Witten-Freed-Hopkins, we give some new cubic forms on spin, spin$^c$, spin$^{w_2}$ and orientable 12-manifolds respectively. We relate them to $\eta$-invariants when the…
We give the definition and explore the algebraic structure of a class of quantum symmetries, called topological symmetries, which are generalizations of supersymmetry in the sense that they involve topological invariants similar to the…
