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…

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} =…
