Markov categories are a recent category-theoretic approach to the foundations of probability and statistics. Here we develop this approach further by treating infinite products and the Kolmogorov extension theorem. This is relevant for all…
We investigate a Gepner-like superstring model described by a combination of multiple minimal models and an N=2 Liouville theory. This model is thought to be equivalent to the superstring theory on a singular noncompact Calabi-Yau manifold.…
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 construct a sheaf of Fock spaces over the moduli space of elliptic curves E_y with Gamma_1(3)-level structure, arising from geometric quantization of H^1(E_y), and a global section of this Fock sheaf. The global section coincides, near…
The $q$-Whittaker function $W_\lambda(\mathbf{x};q)$ associated to a partition $\lambda$ is a $q$-analogue of the Schur function $s_\lambda(\mathbf{x})$, and is defined as the $t=0$ specialization of the Macdonald polynomial…
We classify all Jacobian elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces with finite automorphism group. We also classify all Jacobian elliptic fibrations with finite Mordell-Weil group on K3 surfaces with infinite automorphism group and 2-elementary…
The SO(32) heterotic string on a K3 surface is analyzed in terms of the dual theory of a type II string (or F-theory) on an elliptically fibred Calabi-Yau manifold. The results are in beautiful agreement with earlier work by Witten using…
The open string sector of the topological B-model on CY $(m+2)$-folds is described by $m$-graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence generalizes the connection between CY $(m+2)$-folds and gauge theories on the worldvolume of…
We use the polynomial formulation of the holomorphic anomaly equations governing perturbative topological string theory to derive the free energies in a scaling limit to all orders in perturbation theory for any Calabi-Yau threefold. The…
We introduce the {\it growth partition function} $Z_{\Gamma,G}(t)$ associate with any cancellative infinite monoid $\Gamma$ with a finite generator system $G$. It is a power series in $t$ whose coefficients lie in integral Lie-like space…
We express the weight enumerator of each binary linear code, in particular the Ising partition function of an arbitrary finite graph, as a formal infinite product. An analogous result was obtained by Feynman and Sherman in the beginning of…
We consider compactifications of type I supergravity on manifolds with SU(3) structure, in the presence of RR fluxes and magnetized D9-branes, and analyze the generalized Dirac and Laplace-Beltrami operators associated to the D9-brane…
We review compactifications of type IIB string theory which produce de Sitter vacua to leading order in the $\alpha^\prime$ and $g_s$ expansions in line with the scenario proposed by Kachru, Kallosh, Linde, and Trivedi. We detail specific…
Categorical enumerative invariants of a Calabi-Yau category, encoded as the partition function of the associated closed string field theory (SFT), conjecturally equal Gromov-Witten invariants when applied to Fukaya categories. Part of this…
We study the semiclassical partition function in the frame work of the Morse theory, to clarify the phase factor of the partition function and to relate it to the eta invariant of Atiyah. Converting physical system with potential into a…
In this paper, we consider $L$-functions of modular forms of weight 3, which are products of the Jacobi theta series, and express their special values at $s=3$, $4$ in terms of special values of Kamp\'e de F\'eriet hypergeometric functions.…
We take new algebraic and geometric perspectives on the combinatorial results recently obtained on the partition functions of critical massive gravities conjectured to be dual to Logarithmic CFTs throught the AdS$_3$/LCFT$_2$…
The evidence for string/string-duality can be extended from the matching of the vector couplings to gravitational couplings. In this note this is shown in the rank three example, the closest stringy analog of the Seiberg/Witten-setup, which…
By employing the symmetries of the underlying conformal field theory, the tree-level K\"ahler potentials for untwisted moduli of the heterotic string compactifications on orbifolds with continuous Wilson lines are derived. These symmetries…
We apply the coset character identities (generalization of Jacobi's abstruse identity) to compact and noncompact Gepner models. In the both cases, we prove that the partition function actually vanishes due to the spacetime supersymmetry. In…
