Jacobi forms can be considered as vector valued modular forms, and Jacobi forms of critical weight correspond to vector valued modular forms of weight $\frac12$. Since the only modular forms of weight $\frac12$ on congruence subgroups of…

The two pillars of rational conformal field theory and rational vertex operator algebras are modularity of characters on the one hand and its interpretation of modules as objects in a modular tensor category on the other one. Overarching…

In this series of papers, we introduce higher level versions of the theta group $\Gamma_{\theta}.$ In this paper, we treat the theta group of level $5$, $\Gamma_{\theta,5},$ and construct modular forms on $\Gamma_{\theta,5}$. Moreover we…

We study modular transformation properties of a class of indefinite theta series involved in characters of infinite-dimensional Lie superalgebras. The \textit{level-$\ell$ Appell functions} $K_\ell$ satisfy open quasiperiodicity relations…

We study modular invariance of normalized supercharacters of tame integrable modules over an affine Lie superalgebra, associated to an arbitrary basic Lie superalgebra $ \mathfrak{g}. $ For this we develop a several step modification…

We generalize the construction from arXiv:2102.09329 of theta series for quadratic forms of signature $(n-1,1)$ with homogeneous and spherical polynomials. Namely, we allow that the parameters $c_1,c_2$, which define the theta series and…

We construct symmetric square type $L$-series for vector-valued modular forms transforming under the Weil representation associated to a discriminant form. We study Hecke operators and integral representations to investigate their…

We study a family of non-C2-cofinite vertex operator algebras, called the singlet vertex operator algebras, and connect several important concepts in the theory of vertex operator algebras, quantum modular forms, and modular tensor…

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…

Conformal field theory and its axiomatisation in terms of vertex operator algebras or chiral algebras are most commonly considered on the Riemann sphere. However, an important constraint in physics and an interesting source of mathematics…
