We define the singular elliptic genus for arbitrary normal surfaces, prove that it is a birational invariant, and show that it generalizes the singular elliptic genus of Borisov and Libgober and the stringy $\chi_y$ genus of Batyrev and…
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…
For an orbifold, there is a notion of an orbifold embedding, which is more general than the one of sub-orbifolds. We develop several properties of orbifold embeddings. In the case of translation groupoids, we show that such a notion is…
We generalize the definition of orbifold elliptic genus, and introduce orbifold genera of chromatic level h, using h-tuples rather than pairs of commuting elements. We show that our genera are in fact orbifold invariants, and we prove…
The classical multiplicative (Hirzebruch) genera of manifolds have the wonderful property which is called rigidity. Rigidity of a genus h means that if a compact connected Lie group G acts on a manifold X, then the equivariant genus h^G(X)…
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…
Orbifold elliptic genus and elliptic genus of singular varieties are introduced and relation between them is studied. Elliptic genus of singular varieties is given in terms of a resolution of singularities and extends the elliptic genus of…
Equivariant elliptic cohomology with complex coefficients was defined axiomatically by Ginzburg, Kapranov and Vasserot and constructed by Grojnowski. We give an invariant definition of S^1-equivariant elliptic cohomology, and use it to give…
This paper surveys the authors recent work on two variable elliptic genus of singular varieties. The last section calculates a generating function for the elliptic genera of symmetric products. This generalizes the classical results of…
In this note we classify simply connected rationally elliptic compact toric orbifolds up to algebraic isomorphism.
The first purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between equivariant elliptic genera and orbifold elliptic genera. We apply the character theory of Hopkins et. al. to the Borel-equivariant genus associated to the sigma…
The first part surveys the push forward formula for elliptic class and various applications obtained in the papers by L.Borisov and the author. In the remaining part we discuss the ring of quasi-Jacobi forms which allow to characterize the…
We construct a Thom class in complex equivariant elliptic cohomology extending the equivariant Witten genus. This gives a new proof of the rigidity of the Witten genus, which exhibits a close relationship to recent work on non-equivariant…
We give a new derivation and characterisation of the generalised elliptic genus of Krichever-H\"ohn by means of a functional equation.
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.
We define (in two, equivalent ways) the notion of a rigid stratum of a reductive group. This generalizes the notion of rigid unipotent class.
We discuss the rigidity of elliptic genera for non-spin manifolds $M$ with $S^1$-action. We show that if the universal covering of $M$ is spin, then the universal elliptic genus of $M$ is rigid. Moreover, we show that there is no condition…
Given a compact complex algebraic variety with an effective action of a finite group $G$, and a class $\alpha \in H^2(G,U(1))$, we introduce an orbifold elliptic genus with discrete torsion $\alpha$, denoted $Ell^{\alpha}_{orb}(X,G, q, y)$.…
We study groups generated by three half-turns in the Lobachevsky $3$-space and their quotient orbifolds. These generalized triangle groups are closely related to the arbitrary 2-generator Kleinian groups. Our main result is a classification…
We survey on algebraically elliptic varieties in the sense of Gromov.
