We give explicit structure of the graded ring of modular forms with respect to Gamma(N) (N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16,18) and for some other congruence groups. We also study the modular forms of half-integer weight for certain groups.

It is known that the Selberg zeta function for the modular group has an expression in terms of the class numbers and the fundamental units of the indefinite binary quadratic forms. In the present paper, we generalize such a expression to…

We study the geometric structure of Lorentzian spin manifolds, which admit imaginary Killing spinors. The discussion is based on the cone construction and a normal form classification of skew-adjoint operators in signature $(2,n-2)$.…

We provide some examples of Killing superalgebras on 2-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds within the theoretical framework established in [SIGMA 21 (2025), 081, 61 pages, arXiv:2409.11306]. We compute the Spencer cohomology group…

Invariants of 3-manifolds from a non semi-simple category of modules over a version of quantum sl(2) were obtained by the last three authors in [arXiv:1404.7289]. In their construction the quantum parameter $q$ is a root of unity of order…

We define a 2-category that categorifies the covering Kac-Moody algebra for sl(2) introduced by Clark and Wang. This categorification forms the structure of a super-2-category as formulated by Kang, Kashiwara, and Oh. The super-2-category…
