We present in this work a systematic study of integrable models and supersymmetric extensions of the Gelfand-Dickey algebra of pseudo differential operators. We describe in detail the relation existing between the algebra of super…
We consider two different methods of associating vertex algebraic structures with the level $1$ principal subspaces for $U_q (\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$. In the first approach, we introduce certain commutative operators and study the…
Using twisted Fock spaces, we formulate and study two twisted versions of the n-point correlation functions of Bloch-Okounkov, and then identify them with q-expectation values of certain functions on the set of (odd) strict partitions. We…
We introduce twists by Cartan elements of conformal blocks on a curve X, corresponding to a Lie algebra g. We show that these twists define holomorphic functions, with theta-like behaviour, on a product of copies of its Jacobian J(X)^r. We…
Certain infinite families of operator identities related to powers of positive root generators of (super) Lie algebras of first-order differential operators and $q$-deformed algebras of first-order finite-difference operators are presented.
Integral representations of two $q$-difference operators are provided in terms of special functions arising in the theory of asymptotic solutions to $q$-difference equations in the complex domain. Both representations are unified through…
The connection between q-analogs of special functions and representations of quantum algebras has been developed recently. It has led to advances in the theory of q-special functions that we here review.
In this paper, we study the $n$-point function of $t$-core partitions. The main tool is the topological vertex, originally developed to study the topological string theory for toric Calabi--Yau 3-folds. By virtue of the topological vertex,…
These are the lecture notes for a course taught at Tsinghua University in the spring of 2022. In these notes, we develop the basic theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and their conformal blocks using complex-analytic methods. In…
Large $N$ conformal field theories often admit unitary renormalization group flows triggered by double-trace deformations. We compute the change in scalar four-point functions under double-trace flow, to leading order in $1/N$. This has a…
We investigate the concept of $q$-replicated arguments in symmetric functions with its connection to spectral functions of hyperbolic geometry. This construction suffices for vector generation functions in the form of $q$-series, and string…
Two and three point functions of composite operators are analysed with regard to (logarithmically) divergent contact terms. Using the renormalisation group of dimensional regularisation it is established that the divergences are governed by…
We explain how to use a certain new "Jacobi identity" for vertex operator algebras, announced in a previous paper (math.QA/9909178), to interpret and generalize recent work of S. Bloch's relating values of the Riemann zeta function at…
We build in this paper the algebra of q-deformed pseudo-differential operators shown to be an essential step towards setting a q-deformed integrability program. In fact, using the results of this q-deformed algebra, we derive the…
A realization of the elliptic quantum algebra $U_{q,p}(\widehat{sl_2})$ for any given level $k$ is constructed in terms of three free boson fields and their accompanying twisted partners. It can be viewed as the elliptic deformation of…
We compute N-point correlation functions of pure vertex operator states(DK states) for minimal models coupled to gravity. We obtain agreement with the matrix model results on analytically continuing in the numbers of cosmological constant…
The functions on a lattice generated by the integer degrees of $q^2$ are considered, 0<q<1. The $q^2$-translation operator is defined. The multiplicators and the $q^2$-convolutors are defined in the functional spaces which are dual with…
We explore a number of functional properties of the $q$-gamma function and a class of its quotients; including the $q$-beta function. We obtain formulas for all higher logarithmic derivatives of these quotients and give precise conditions…
Most of the special functions of mathematical physics are connected with the representation of Lie groups. The action of elements $D$ of the associated Lie algebras as linear differential operators gives relations among the functions in a…
We study the properties of shifted vertex operator algebras, which are vertex algebras derived from a given theory by shifting the conformal vector. In this way, we are able to exhibit large numbers of vertex operator algebras which are…
