We show that equivariant elliptic genera of toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds are generalized weak Jacobi forms. We also introduce a notion of averaged equivariant elliptic genera of toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds, and show that they are ordinary weak…

Motivated by the derived invariance problem of elliptic genera, we construct a non-birational pair of Calabi--Yau complete intersection 17-folds in $F_4$-Grassmannians with distinct Chern numbers and identical elliptic genera.

We prove that the wreath product orbifolds studied earlier by the first author provide a large class of higher dimensional examples of orbifolds whose orbifold Hodge numbers coincide with the ordinary ones of suitable resolutions of…

We consider tensor products of N=2 minimal models and non-compact conformal field theories with N=2 superconformal symmetry, and their orbifolds. The elliptic genera of these models give rise to a large and interesting class of real Jacobi…

Several aspects of (0,2) Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are investigated. Especially the elliptic genera are computed in general and, for a class of models recently invented by Distler and Kachru, they are compared with the ones from (0,2) sigma…

In the paper we study two types of relations: a one is between the elliptic genus of Calabi-Yau manifolds and Jacobi modular forms, another one is between the second quantized elliptic genus, Siegel modular forms and Lorentzian Kac-Moody…

Three types of rigidity theorem for orbifold elliptic genus of level N are proved. The first type deals with the case where N is relatively prime to the orders of all isotropy groups. If the top exterior power of the tangent bundle is…

We compute the equivariant elliptic genera of several classes of ALE and ALF manifolds using localization in gauged linear sigma models. In the sigma model computation the equivariant action corresponds to chemical potentials for U(1)…

Given a Riemann surface and a riemannian manifold M with certain restrictions, we construct a cobordism invariant of M. This invariant is a generalization of the elliptic genus and it shares some similar properties.

In this paper we derive topological and number theoretical consequences of the rigidity of elliptic genera, which are special modular forms associated to each compact almost complex manifold. In particular, on the geometry side, we prove…

We discuss duality and mirror symmetry phenomena of Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds considering their elliptic genera. Under the duality (or mirror) transform performed by orbifoldizing the Landau-Ginzburg model via some discrete group of the…

When we describe non-compact or singular Calabi-Yau manifolds by CFT, continuous as well as discrete representations appear in the theory. These representations mix in an intricate way under the modular transformations. In this article, we…

We study fixed points of smooth torus actions on closed manifolds using fixed point formulas and equivariant elliptic genera. We also give applications to positively curved Riemannian manifolds with symmetry.

We further discuss the relation between the elliptic genus of K3 surface and the Mathieu group M24. We find that some of the twisted elliptic genera for K3 surface, defined for conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group M24, can be represented…

We prove an equivariant version of the McKay correspondence for the elliptic genus on open varieties with a torus action. As a consequence, we will prove the equivariant DMVV formula for the Hilbert scheme of points on $\C^2$.

Let X->P^(n-1) be an elliptic fibration obtained by resolving the indeterminacy of the projection of a cubic hypersurface Y of P^(n+1) from a line L not contained in Y. We prove that the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic fibration is…

For any elliptic normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link we consider a new elliptic sequence, which differs from the one introduced by Laufer and S. S.-T. Yau. However, we show that their length coincide. Using the…

The elliptic genus (EG) of a compact complex manifold was introduced as a holomorphic Euler characteristic of some formal power series with vector bundle coefficients. EG is an automorphic form in two variables only if the manifold is a…

The rigidity theorem of Witten-Bott-Taubes-Hirzebruch tells us that, if the circle group acts on a closed almost complex (or more generally unitary) manifold whose first Chern class is divisible by a positive integer N greater than 1, then…

Borisov and Libgober recently proved a conjecture of Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, and Verlinde on the elliptic genus of a Hilbert scheme of points on a surface. We show how their result can be used together with our work on complex genera of…
