We establish various results on the large level limit of projective quantum representations of surface mapping class groups obtained by quantizing moduli spaces of flat SU(n)-bundle. Working with the metaplectic correction, we proved that…

We present a topological quantum field theory which corresponds to the moduli problem associated to Witten's monopole equations for four-manifolds. The construction of the theory is carried out in purely geometrical terms using the…

This is the third installment in our series of articles (dg-ga/9712005, dg-ga/9710032) on the application of the PU(2) monopole equations to prove Witten's conjecture (hep-th/9411102) concerning the relation between the Donaldson and…

An expansion is developed for the Weil-Petersson Riemann curvature tensor in the thin region of the Teichm\"{u}ller and moduli spaces. The tensor is evaluated on the gradients of geodesic-lengths for disjoint geodesics. A precise lower…

In this undergraduate thesis, we present an analytical proof of the Morse inequalities for closed smooth $n$-manifolds following Witten's approach. Using techniques from PDE theory, the proof is reduced to study the eigenspaces and…

Motivated by the fact that the classical Jacobi theta function $\vartheta$ is the exponential generating function of the Eisenstein series, we study the exponential Taylor coefficients (in the elliptic variable) of a related natural partial…

We propose Asymptotic Expansion Conjectures of the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants, of the relative Turaev-Viro invariants and of the discrete Fourier transforms of the quantum 6j-symbols, and prove them for families of special…

We prove a quantum version of the localization formula of Witten that relates invariants of a git quotient with the equivariant invariants of the action. Using the formula we prove a quantum version of an abelianization formula of S. Martin…

We are dealing in this work with such formal and conceptual extensions of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (QM) which contain QM with its standard formalism and interpretation as a subtheory. QM is here primarily equivalently reformulated…

The Euler characteristic and the volume are two best-known multiplicative invariants of manifolds under finite covers. On the other hand, quantum invariants of 3-manifolds are not multiplicative. We show that a perturbative power series,…

We introduce a homomorphism from the quantum affine algebras $U_q(D^{(2)}_{n+1}), U_q(A^{(2)}_{2n}), U_q(C^{(1)}_{n})$ to the $n$-fold tensor product of the $q$-oscillator algebra ${\mathcal A}_q$. Their action commute with the solutions of…

An old conjecture claims that commuting Hamiltonians of the double-elliptic integrable system are constructed from the theta-functions associated with Riemann surfaces from the Seiberg-Witten family, with moduli treated as dynamical…

Recently, Debruyne and Tenenbaum proved asymptotic formulas for the number of partitions with parts in $\mathcal{L}\subset\mathbb{N}$ ($\gcd(\mathcal{L})=1$) and good analytic properties of the corresponding zeta function, generalizing work…

In 2010 Zagier introduced the notion of a quantum modular form. One of his first examples was the "strange" function $F(q)$ of Kontsevich. Here we produce a new example of a quantum modular form by making use of some of Ramanujan's mock…

We consider a toy model of a 3-dimensional topological quantum gravity. In this model, a contribution of a given 3-manifold is given by the partition function of an abelian Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT), with a topological…

We renormalize the Chern-Simons invariant for convex-cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds by finding the asymptotics along an equidistance foliation. We prove that the metric Chern-Simons invariant has an exponentially divergent term given by…

Motivated by the Landau-Ginzburg model, we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold with bounded geometry, together with some tameness condition on the growth of the Morse function $f$ near infinity. We prove that the…

We study functions $f$ on $\mathbb Q$ which statisfy a ``quantum modularity'' relation of the shape $$ f(x+1)=f(x), \qquad f(x) - |x|^{-k} f(-1/x) = h(x) $$ where $h:\mathbb R_{\neq 0} \to \mathbb C$ is a function satisfying various…

Modular categories are a well-known source of quantum 3-manifold invariants. In this paper we study structures on modular categories which allow to define refinements of quantum 3-manifold invariants involving cohomology classes or…

We study the distribution of partition parts in arithmetic progressions and find asymptotic results that capture all exponentially growing terms. This is accomplished by studying the behavior of non-modular Eisenstein series that appear in…
