Several independent articles have observed that the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$-genus has an important feature, which the author calls -1-phenomenon and tells us that the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of the $\chi_y$-genus at $y=-1$ have…

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…

The Gepner-like models of $k^{K}$-type is considered. When $k+2$ is multiple of $K$ the elliptic genus and the Euler characteristic is calculated. Using free-field representation we relate these models with $\sigma$-models on hypersurfaces…

Let $G/P$ be a complex cominuscule flag manifold. We prove a type independent formula for the torus equivariant Mather class of a Schubert variety in $G/P$, and for a Schubert variety pulled back via the natural projection $G/Q \to G/P$. We…

We show that the elliptic genus of the higher rank E-strings can be computed based solely on the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the corresponding elliptic geometry. To set up our computation, we study the structure of the topological…

Suppose that $f:X\to C$ is a general Jacobian elliptic surface over the complex numbers. Then the primitive cohomology $H^{1,1}_{prim}(X)$ has, up to a sign, a natural orthonormal basis $(\eta_i)_{i\in [1, N]}$ given by certain meromorphic…
