Theta series, wall-crossing and quantum dilogarithm identities
Abstract
Motivated by mathematical structures which arise in string vacua and gauge theories with N=2 supersymmetry, we study the properties of certain generalized theta series which appear as Fourier coefficients of functions on a twisted torus. In Calabi-Yau string vacua, such theta series encode instanton corrections from Neveu-Schwarz five-branes. The theta series are determined by vector-valued wave-functions, and in this work we obtain the transformation of these wave-functions induced by Kontsevich-Soibelman symplectomorphisms. This effectively provides a quantum version of these transformations, where the quantization parameter is inversely proportional to the five-brane charge . Consistency with wall-crossing implies a new five-term relation for Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm at , which we prove. By allowing the torus to be non-commutative, we obtain a more general five-term relation valid for arbitrary and , which may be relevant for the physics of five-branes at finite chemical potential for angular momentum.
