Abstract

A kind of two-variable elliptic genus for almost-complex manifolds was introduced by Ping Li and its various properties were established by him. In this paper, we define a two-variable elliptic genus for odd dimensional spin manifolds which is the index for some Toeplitz operator and a holomorphic SL(2,Z)SL(2,Z)-Jacobi form. We also define some two-variable elliptic genera for almost-complex manifolds and odd dimensional spin manifolds which are holomorphic Γ0(2)\Gamma_0(2), Γ0(2)\Gamma^0(2), Γθ\Gamma _{\theta}-Jacobi forms. By these Jacobi forms, we can get some SL(2,Z)SL(2,{\bf Z}) and Γ0(2)\Gamma^0(2) modular forms. By these SL(2,Z)SL(2,{\bf Z}) and Γ0(2)\Gamma^0(2) modular forms, we get some interesting anomaly cancellation formulas for almost complex manifolds and odd spin manifolds. As corollaries, we get some divisibility results of the holomorphic Euler characteristic number and the index of Toeplitz operators. In addition, we also define some another two-variable elliptic genera for even (rep. odd ) dimensional manifolds which are meromorphic Γ0(2)\Gamma_0(2), Γ0(2)\Gamma^0(2), Γθ\Gamma _{\theta}-Jacobi forms.
