We prove the quantum modularity of the signature of $ \mathrm{SU}(2) $-TQFT for a genus 2 surface, which was conjectured by March\'{e}--Masbaum in 2025. Our approach is based on a quantum modularity of generalized Dedekind sums associated…

For p>3 a prime, and g>2 an integer, we use Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) to study a family of p-1 highest weight modules L_p(lambda) for the symplectic group Sp(2g,K) where K is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p.…

For each oriented surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ we study a limit of quantum representations of the mapping class group arising in TQFT derived from the Kauffman bracket. We determine that these representations converge in the Fell topology…

Let q be an integral quadratic form of signature (2,m+2). We will show that the Siegel theta functions attached to q satisfies certain symmetries. As an application, we prove the symmetries for automorphic forms on the orthogonal group of q…

In this paper we define a $\mathbf{QP}^1$-valued class function on the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_{g,2}$ of a surface $\Sigma_{g,2}$ of genus $g$ with two boundary components. Let $E$ be a $\Sigma_{g,2}$ bundle over a pair of pants…

We first find a sufficient condition for a product of theta constants to be a Siegel modular function of a given even level. And, when $K_{(2p)}$ denotes the ray class field of $K=\mathbb{Q}(e^{2\pi i/5})$ modulo $2p$ for an odd prime $p$,…

We study the superconformal index for the class of N=2 4d superconformal field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. These theories are defined by compactifying the (2,0) 6d theory on a Riemann surface with punctures. We interpret the…

We establish an explicit relation between the adjoint Reidemeister torsion of the two-bridge knot $K(p,q)$ at any parabolic representation and the Frobenius algebra governing the signatures of SU$_2$-TQFT vector spaces at the root…

We define generalised zeta functions associated to indefinite quadratic forms of signature (g-1,1) -- and more generally, to complex symmetric matrices whose imaginary part has signature (g-1,1) -- and we investigate their properties. These…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic modular form of prime level $p$ and trivial nebentypus. We show that there exists a computable $\delta>0$, such that $$ L\left(\tfrac{1}{2},\mathrm{Sym}^2 f\right)\ll p^{\tfrac{1}{2}-\delta}, $$ with the implied…

In the path integral formulation of the superstring, the chiral measure acquires a phase under the modular transformation of a Riemann surface. This motivated the use of anomaly inflow to define the superstring chiral measure by a path…

Let $p$ be a prime. Let $f$ be a holomorphic modular form of level $p$ with trivial nebentypus. We prove the bound $L\left(\text{sym}^2f, \frac{1}{2} + it\right) \ll_{f,\epsilon} p^{1/2+\epsilon}t^{3/4-1/12 + \epsilon}$. This bound is…

We provide a homological model for a family of quantum representations of mapping class groups arising from non-semisimple TQFTs (Topological Quantum Field Theories). Our approach gives a new geometric point of view on these…

For a fixed integer $k\ge 3$ and fixed $1/2 < \sigma > 1$ we consider $$ \int_1^T |\zeta(\sigma + it)|^{2k}dt = \sum_{n=1}^\infty d_k^2(n)n^{-2\sigma}T + R(k,\sigma;T), $$ where $R(k,\sigma;T) = o(T) (T\to\infty)$ is the error term in the…

The SU(2) TQFT representation of the mapping class group of a closed surface of genus g, at a root of unity of prime order, is shown to be irreducible. Some examples of reducible representations are also given.

Theta series for indefinite quadratic lattices were introduced by Zwegers, for signature (m-1,1), Alexandrov, Banerjee, Manschot and Pioline, for signature (m-2,2), and Nazaroglu, for signature (m-q,q). These series are modular modular…

We construct integral bases for the SO(3)-TQFT-modules of surfaces in genus one and two at roots of unity of prime order and show that the corresponding mapping class group representations preserve a unimodular Hermitian form over a ring of…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $(q,z)\in \mathbb{C}^2$, $|q|<1$. We show that for any $0<\delta _0<\delta <1$, there exists $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $q$ with…
