In this paper, we study some basic properties of the octonionic Nahm's equations over $[0,1]$. We prove that the moduli space of the smooth solutions to the octonionic Nahm's equations over $[0,1]$ is a star-shaped smooth manifold with a…
We consider a large class of $q$-series that have the structure of Nahm sums, or equivalently motivic generating series for quivers. First, we initiate a systematic analysis and classification of classical and quantum A-polynomials…
The discrete Nahm equations, a system of matrix valued difference equations, arose in the work of Braam and Austin on half-integral mass hyperbolic monopoles. We show that the discrete Nahm equations are completely integrable in a natural…
We consider Nahm's equations on a bounded open interval with first order poles at the ends. By imposing further boundary conditions, extended moduli spaces are identified with spaces of rational maps from $\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1$ to…
Recently, Wang and Zeng investigated modularity of partial Nahm sums and discovered 14 modular families of such sums. They confirmed modularity for 13 families and proposed a conjecture consisting of two Rogers--Ramanujan type identities…
Let $A$ be a $r\times r$ rational nonzero symmetric matrix, $B$ a rational column vector, $C$ a rational scalar. For any integer lattice $L$ and vector $v$ of $\mathbb{Z}^r$, we define Nahm sum on the lattice coset $v+L\in \mathbb{Z}^r/L$:…
The discrete Nahm equation is an integrable nonlinear difference equation for complex $N\times N$ matrices defined on a one-dimensional lattice, with rank and symmetry boundary conditions at the ends of the lattice. Solutions of this system…
We compute the Hochschild homology of the differential graded category of perfect curved modules over suitable curved rings, giving what might be termed "de Rham models" for such. This represents a generalization of previous results by…
When is a $q$-series modular? This is an interesting open question in mathematics that has deep connections to conformal field theory. In this paper we define a particular $r$-fold $q$-hypergeometric series $f_{A,B,C}$, with data given by a…
There are many instances known when the Fourier coefficients of modular forms are congruent to partial sums of hypergeometric series. In our previous work arXiv:1803.01830, such partial sums are related to the radial asymptotics of infinite…
For a random partition, one of the most basic questions is: what can one expect about the parts which arise? For example, what is the distribution of the parts of random partitions modulo $N$? Since most partitions contain a $1$, and indeed…
We prove certain Nahm-type sum representations for the (odd modulus) Andrews-Gordon identities, the (even modulus) Andrews-Bressoud identities, and Rogers' false theta functions. These identities are motivated on one hand by a recent work…
Zagier provided eleven conjectural rank two examples for Nahm's problem. All of them have been proved in the literature except for the fifth example, and there is no $q$-series proof for the tenth example. We prove that the fifth and the…
In this note, we report on the results of a computer search performed to find possible modular companions to certain $q$-series identities and conjectures. For the search, we use conditions arising from the asymptotics of Nahm sums. We…
Given a Lie algebra $\frak{g}$, the \emph{Nahm algebra} of $\frak{g}$ is the vector space $\frak{g}\times \frak{g}\times \frak{g}$ with the natural commutative, nonassociative algebra structure associated with the Nahm equations $\dot{x} =…
A method of deriving solutions to Nahm's equations based on root structure of simple Lie algebras is given. As an illustration of this method the recently found solutions to Nahm's equations with tetrahedral and octahedral symmetries are…
Around 2007, Warnaar proved four identities related to Nahm sums associated with twice the inverse of the Cartan matrix of type $D_k$. Three of these had been conjectured by Flohr, Grabow, and Koehn, while special cases of two of the…
The Murnaghan--Nakayama rule is a combinatorial rule for the character values of symmetric groups. We give a new combinatorial proof by explicitly finding the trace of the representing matrices in the standard basis of Specht modules. This…
The aim of this note is to show that certain number theoretic inequalities due to Nesbitt and Shapiro have noncommutative counterparts involving positive definite matrices.
Let $G$ be an almost linear Nash group, namely, a Nash group which admits a Nash homomorphism with finite kernel to some $\GL_k(\mathbb R)$. A homology theory (the Schwartz homology) is established for the category of smooth \Fre…
