We prove the Landau-Ginzburg Mirror Symmetry Conjecture at the level of (orbifolded) Frobenius algebras for a large class of invertible singularities, including arbitrary sums of loops and Fermats with arbitrary symmetry groups.…

In semiclassical theories for chaotic systems such as Gutzwiller's periodic orbit theory the energy eigenvalues and resonances are obtained as poles of a non-convergent series g(w)=sum_n A_n exp(i s_n w). We present a general method for the…

We analyze the boundaries of the moduli spaces of compactifications of the heterotic string on $T^d$, making particular emphasis on $d=2$ and its F-theory dual. We compute the OPE algebras as we approach all the infinite distance limits…

A generalized modular relation of the form $F(z, w, \alpha)=F(z, iw,\beta)$, where $\alpha\beta=1$ and $i=\sqrt{-1}$, is obtained in the course of evaluating an integral involving the Riemann $\Xi$-function. It is a two-variable…

We present a new application of affine Lie algebras to massive quantum field theory in 2 dimensions, by investigating the $q\to 1$ limit of the q-deformed affine $\hat{sl(2)}$ symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory, this limit occurring at the…

Following the ideas of Flach and Morin (Doc. Math. 23 (2018), 1425--1560), we state a conjecture in terms of Weil-\'etale cohomology for the vanishing order and special value of the zeta function $\zeta (X, s)$ at $s = n < 0$, where $X$ is…

In the theory of elliptic functions and elliptic curves, the Weierstrass $zeta$ function (which is essentially an antiderivative of the Weierstrass $\wp$ function) plays a prominent role. Although it is not an elliptic function, Eisenstein…

The one-loop effective action for a scalar field defined in the ultrastatic space-time where non standard logarithmic terms in the asymptotic heat-kernel expansion are present, is investigated by a generalisation of zeta-function…

We revisit the contributions of order $\alpha^2(Z\alpha)^5m$ and $\alpha^2(Z\alpha)E_F$, respectively, to the Lamb shift and to the hyperfine splitting from mixed self-energy-vacuum-polarization diagrams, involving fermionic loop. We use…

A realization of the affine Lie algebra ${A^{(1)}_1}$ and the relevant $Z$-algebra at negative level $-k$ is given in terms of parafermions. This generalizes the recent work on realization of the affine Lie algebra at the critical level.

We investigate a recently proposed new form of the exact NSVZ $\beta$-function, which relates the $\beta$-function to the anomalous dimensions of the quantum gauge superfield, of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts, and of the chiral matter…

T-duality and its generalizations are widely recognized either as symmetries or solution-generating techniques in string theory. Recently introduced Jacobi-Lie T-plurality is based on Leibniz algebras whose structure constants ${f_{ab}}^c,…

We study the effective action of quantum mechanical SU(N) Yang-Mills theories with sixteen supersymmetries and N>2. We show that supersymmetry requires that the eight fermion terms in the supersymmetric completion of the $v^4$ terms be…

The Virasoro master equation describes a large set of conformal field theories known as the affine-Virasoro constructions, in the operator algebra (affine Lie algebra) of the WZW model, while the Einstein equations of the general non-linear…

At four loops there first occurs a test of the four-term relation derived by the second author in the course of investigating whether counterterms from subdivergence-free diagrams form a weight system. This test relates counterterms in a…

We prove the long-standing conjecture on the coset construction of the minimal series principal $W$-algebras of $ADE$ types in full generality. We do this by first establishing Feigin's conjecture on the coset realization of the universal…

Zeta function regularization is an effective method to extract physical significant quantities from infinite ones. It is regarded as mathematically simple and elegant but the isolation of the physical divergency is hidden in its analytic…

This paper studies a zeta function of two complex variables (w, s) attached to an algebraic number field K, introduced by van der Geer and Schoof, which is based on an analogue of the Riemann-Roch theorem for number fields using Arakelov…

The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}$ and can serve as a building block in the construction of new vertex operator algebras. In [1], a two-parameter family…

We study mirror symmetric pairs of Calabi--Yau manifolds over finite fields. In particular we compute the number of rational points of the manifolds as a function of the complex structure parameters. The data of the number of rational…
