We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.
We present preliminary numerical results from a lattice study of the two-dimensional O(3) non-linear sigma model. In the continuum this model possesses N=2 supersymmetry. The lattice formulation we use retains an exact (twisted)…
Let f: X -> Y be a separated morphism of schemes of finite type over a finite field of characteristic p, let Lambda be an artinian local Z_p-algebra with finite residue field, let m be the maximal ideal of Lambda, and let L^\bullet be a…
The paper discusses some properties of the modulus $|W_{k,m}(z)|$ of the Whittaker function $W_{k,m}(z)$. In particular, completely monotone functions expressed in terms of $|W_{k,m}(z)|$ are found. The results follow from an integral…
The partition functions of Pasquier models on the cylinder, and the associated intertwiners, are considered. It is shown that earlier results due to Saleur and Bauer can be rephrased in a geometrical way, reminiscent of formulae found in…
Unary theta functions have played a significant role in the theory of holomorphic modular forms and modular $L$-functions. A partial theta functions is defined analogously, but the sum is over part of the integer lattice. Such sums fail to…
A completely new strategy to calculate parton distribution functions on the lattice has recently been proposed. In this method, lattice calculable observables, called quasi distributions, are related to normal distributions. The quasi…
We will describe solvable lattice models whose partition functions depend on two sets of variables, $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ and $y_1, y_2, \cdots $ that have different connections with the representation theory of $\text{GL}(n,F)$ where $F$ is a…
The symmetric group $\mathfrak S_{n+1}$ of degree $n+1$ admits an $n$-dimensional irreducible $\mathbf Q \mathfrak S_n$-module $V$ corresponding to the hook partition $(2,1^{n-1})$. By the work of Craig and Plesken we know that there are…
We determine the general structure of the partition function of the $q$-state Potts model in an external magnetic field, $Z(G,q,v,w)$ for arbitrary $q$, temperature variable $v$, and magnetic field variable $w$, on cyclic, M\"obius, and…
In this short note we identify a family of partition functions recently introduced by Wang, Liu, Zhang, and Zhao with certain specializations of the generating function for dessins d'enfant. This provides a new W-description for orbifold…
In this article, we discuss the notion of partition of elements in an arbitrary Coxeter system $(W,S)$: a partition of an element $w$ is a subset $\mathcal P\subseteq W$ such that the left inversion set of $w$ is the disjoint union of the…
Partition function of beta-gamma systems on the orbifolds C^2/Z_N and C^3/Z_M x Z_N are obtained as the invariant part of that on the respective affine spaces, by lifting the geometric action of the orbifold group to the fields.…
Motivated by a careful analysis of the Laplacian on the supergroup $SU(2|1)$ we formulate a proposal for the state space of the $SU(2|1)$ WZNW model. We then use properties of $\hat{sl}(2|1)$ characters to compute the partition function of…
Wigner limits are given formally as the difference between a lattice sum, associated to a positive definite quadratic form, and a corresponding multiple integral. To define these limits, which arose in work of Wigner on the energy of static…
As shown in our paper [JCTA 177 (2021), Paper No. 105305], the chromatic quasi-symmetric function of Shareshian-Wachs can be lifted to ${\bf WQSym}$, the algebra of quasi-symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. We investigate here…
We propose a group theoretical method to study Isgur-Wise functions. A current matrix element splits into a heavy quark matrix element and an overlap of the initial and final clouds, related to the IW functions, that contain the long…
We discuss the relation between matrix models and the Seiberg--Witten type (SW) theories, recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. In particular, we prove that the partition function of the Hermitean one-matrix model in the planar (large…
The $(P, w)$-partition generating function $K_{(P,w)}(x)$ is a quasisymmetric function obtained from a labeled poset. Recently, Liu and Weselcouch gave a formula for the coefficients of $K_{(P,w)}(x)$ when expanded in the quasisymmetric…
In this contribution we announce a complete classification and new exotic phenomena of the meromorphic structure of $\z$-functions associated to conic manifolds proved in \cite{KLP1}. In particular, we show that the meromorphic extensions…
