We prove several vanishing theorems for a class of generalized elliptic genera on foliated manifolds, by using classical equivariant index theory. The main techniques are the use of the Jacobi theta-functions and the construction of a new…
In this paper, we extend the elliptic genus in [10] by the gauge group E_8 and the gauge group E_8*E_8. Then we prove that the generalized elliptic genus are the weak Jacobi forms. Using these elliptic genus, we obtain some SL_2(Z) modular…
We study the affine ring of the affine Jacobi variety of a hyper-elliptic curve. The matrix construction of the affine hyper-elliptic Jacobi varieties due to Mumford is used to calculate the character of the affine ring. By decomposing the…
A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…
This short note presents a simple construction of nonisotopic symplectic tori representing the same primitive homology class in the symplectic 4-manifold E(1)_K, obtained by knot surgery on the rational elliptic surface E(1) with the…
In this long survey article we show that the theory of elliptic and hyperelliptic curves can be extended naturally to all superelliptic curves. We focus on automorphism groups, stratification of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_g$, binary…
We introduce the universal complex elliptic genus phi_ell as the ring homomorphism from the complex cobordism ring Omega^U to the polynomial ring C[A,B,C,D] associated to the characteristic power series Q(x)=x/f(x), where f is the solution…
We show that the map $\pi_\ast \mathrm{MString}\to \pi_\ast \mathrm{tmf}$ induced by the Ando-Hopkins-Rezk orientation is surjective. This proves an unpublished claim of Hopkins and Mahowald. We do so by constructing an $\mathbf{E}_1$-ring…
We show that two hypersurfaces in a manifold are related by a sequence of embedded cobordisms if and only if they represent the same homology class. By applying handle decompositions we turn these cobordisms into a sequence of embedded…
We compute the elliptic genera of general two-dimensional N=(2,2) and N=(0,2) gauge theories. We find that the elliptic genus is given by the sum of Jeffrey-Kirwan residues of a meromorphic form, representing the one-loop determinant of…
Using the path lattice cohomology we provide a conceptual topological characterization of the geometric genus for certain complex normal surface singularities with rational homology sphere links, which is uniformly valid for all…
The mapping class group of a compact oriented surface of genus greater than one with boundary acts ergodically on connected components of the representation variety corresponding to a connected compact Lie group, for every choice of…
We study Mordell-Weil rank jumps on families of jacobians of a pencil of genus-2 curves on a K3 surface defined over a number field k. We exhibit a finite extension l/k over which the subset of fibers for which the rank jumps is infinite.…
We prove constructively the existence of surjective morphisms from affine space onto certain open subvarieties of affine space of the same dimension. For any algebraic set $Z\subset \mathbb{A}^{n-2}\subset \mathbb{A}^{n}$, we construct an…
We show that Hida's families of $p$-adic elliptic modular forms generalize to $p$-adic families of Jacobi forms. We also construct $p$-adic versions of theta lifts from elliptic modular forms to Jacobi forms. Our results extend to Jacobi…
Let S be a compact connected oriented surface, whose boundary is connected or empty. A homology cylinder over the surface S is a cobordism between S and itself, homologically equivalent to the cylinder over S. The Y-filtration on the monoid…
We study 3 basic questions about fundamental groups of algebraic varieties. For a morphism, is being surjective on $\pi_1$ preserved by base change? What is the connection between openness in the Zariski and in the Euclidean topologies?…
We show that coherent topoi are right Kan injective with respect to flat embeddings of topoi. We recover the ultrastructure on their category of points as a consequence of this result. We speculate on possible notions of ultracategory in…
Let S be a connected, compact and orientable surface of genus two having exactly one boundary component. We study automorphisms of the Torelli complex for S, and describe any isomorphism between finite index subgroups of the Torelli group…
We consider homotopy actions of a Lie algebroid on a graded manifold, defined as suitable $L_{\infty}$-algebra morphisms. On the "semi-direct product" we construct a homological vector field that projects to the Lie algebroid. Our main…
