We show that the homology of modules for Hurwitz spaces stabilizes and compute its stable value. As one consequence, we compute the moments of Selmer groups in quadratic twist families of abelian varieties over suitably large function…
In this note, we show how a combinatorial identity of Frisch can be applied to prove and generalize some well-known identities involving harmonic numbers. We also present some combinatorial identities involving odd harmonic numbers which…
We give formulae for the cumulants of complex Wishart (LUE) and inverse Wishart matrices (inverse LUE). Their large-$N$ expansions are generating functions of double (strictly and weakly) monotone Hurwitz numbers which count constrained…
We describe a method to compute Hurwitz-Hodge integrals.
Under mild hypotheses on the residual representation, we prove the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras using a novel combination of the methods of…
In this letter,we present our conjecture on the connection between the Kontsevich--Witten and the Hurwitz tau-functions. The conjectural formula connects these two tau-functions by means of the $GL(\infty)$ group element. An important…
We express correlators of the Jacobi $\beta$ ensemble in terms of (a special case of) $b$-Hurwitz numbers, a deformation of Hurwitz numbers recently introduced by Chapuy and Dolega. The proof relies on Kadell's generalization of the Selberg…
In this paper, we give explicit evaluation for some infinite series involving generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers. In addition, some formulas for generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers will also be derived.
We reduce the calculation of the simplest Hodge integrals to some sums over decorated trees. Since Hodge integrals are already calculated, this gives a proof of a rather interesting combinatorial theorem and a new representation of…
Binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers are important in many branches of number theory. With the help of the operator method and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove eight conjectural series…
Hurwitz numbers count covers of curves satisfying fixed ramification data. Via monodromy representation, this counting problem can be transformed to a problem of counting factorizations in the symmetric group. This and other beautiful…
We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…
Degenerate contributions to higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are computed via Hodge integrals. The vanishing of contributions of covers of elliptic curves conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa is proven. A formula for…
In this paper we study relations between intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves and Hurwitz numbers. First, we prove two formulas expressing Hurwitz numbers of (generalized) polynomials via intersections on moduli spaces of curves.…
We use algebraic methods to compute the simple Hurwitz numbers for arbitrary source and target Riemann surfaces. For an elliptic curve target, we reproduce the results previously obtained by string theorists. Motivated by the Gromov-Witten…
In this paper, we extend the main results of a 2024 \emph{Advances in Applied Mathematics} paper \cite{XuZhao2021c} about Ap\'{e}ry-type series involving central binomial coefficients and the multiple ($t-$)harmonic sums to parametric…
We prove a generalized Mari\~{n}o-Vafa formula for Hodge integrals over $\Mbar_{g, \gamma-\mu}(\cB G)$ with $G$ an arbitrary finite abelian group. Then we use this formula to study the local Gromov-Witten theory of an orbi-curve with cyclic…
In this paper, we obtain some formulae for harmonic sums, alternating harmonic sums and Stirling number sums by using the method of integral representations of series. As applications of these formulae, we give explicit formula of several…
In this work we derive and evaluate some infinite integrals involving the product of a generalized logarithm and polynomial functions in the denominator. These integrals are expressed in terms of finite series involving the Hurwitz-Lerch…
Goulden, Jackson and Vakil observed a polynomial structure underlying one-part double Hurwitz numbers, which enumerate branched covers of $\mathbb{CP}^1$ with prescribed ramification profile over $\infty$, a unique preimage over 0, and…
