We extend the framework of modular invariant supersymmetric theories to encompass invariance under more general discrete groups $\Gamma$, that allow the presence of several moduli and make connection with the theory of automorphic forms.…

The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $\Gamma$ with coefficients in…

We produce canonical sets of right coset representatives for the congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$, $\Gamma_1(N)$ and $\Gamma(N)$, and prove that the corresponding fundamental domains are connected. Key to our construction is a study of…
