We study trivial multiple zeta values in Tate algebras. These are particular examples of the multiple zeta values in Tate algebras in positive characteristic introduced by the second author. If the number of variables involved is 'not…

The space spanned by the characters of twisted affine Lie algebras admit the action of certain congruence subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. By embedding the characters in the space spanned by theta functions, we study an…

It is shown that every weak Jacobi form of weight zero and index one on a congruence subgroup of the full Jacobi group can be decomposed into $N=4$ superconformal characters. Additionally, a simple expression for the mock modular form…

We study logarithmic conformal field models that extend the (p,q) Virasoro minimal models. For coprime positive integers $p$ and $q$, the model is defined as the kernel of the two minimal-model screening operators. We identify the field…

The holomorphic bootstrap attempts to classify rational conformal field theories. The straight ahead approach is hard to implement when the number of characters become large. We combine all characters of an RCFT to form a vector valued…

A connection between the theory of formal groups and arithmetic number theory is established. In particular, it is shown how to construct general Almkvist--Meurman--type congruences for the universal Bernoulli polynomials that are related…

Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…

We investigate the representations and the structure of Hecke algebras associated to certain finite complex reflection groups. We first describe computational methods for the construction of irreducible representations of these algebras,…

The modular transformation properties of admissible characters of the affine superalgebra sl(2|1;C) at fractional level k=1/u-1, u=2,3,... are presented. All modular invariants for u=2 and u=3 are calculated explicitly and an A-series and…

We give explicit structure of the graded ring of modular forms with respect to Gamma(N) (N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16,18) and for some other congruence groups. We also study the modular forms of half-integer weight for certain groups.

We show that indefinite theta series on cones converge and provide an explicit modular completion. Our completion rests on a convolution of the Gaussian with a piecewise constant function supported on the cone. Our main innovation is to…

Theta series for exceptional groups have been suggested as a possible description of the eleven-dimensional quantum supermembrane. We present explicit formulae for these automorphic forms whenever the underlying Lie group $G$ is split (or…

Let S be a path-connected, locally-compact CW-complex, and let M be a subcomplex with finitely-many components. A `decorated SL_2(C)-local system' is an SL_2(C)-local system on S, together with a choice of `decoration' at each component of…

The modular properties of fractional level affine sl(2)-theories and, in particular, the application of the Verlinde formula, have a long and checkered history in conformal field theory. Recent advances in logarithmic conformal field theory…

The well-known modular property of the torus characters and torus partition functions of (rational) vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) has been an invaluable tool for studying this class of theories. In…

We study meromorphic modular forms associated with positive definite binary quadratic forms and their cycle integrals along closed geodesics in the modular curve. We show that suitable linear combinations of these meromorphic modular forms…

Many generating series of combinatorially interesting numbers have the property that the sum of the terms of order $<p$ at some suitable point is congruent to a zero of a zeta-function modulo infinitely many primes $p$. Surprisingly, very…

We show that the ring of modular forms with characters for $\mathrm{O}(2,4;\mathbb{Z})$ is generated by forms of weights 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10, 12, and 30 with three relations of weights 8, 20, and 60. The proof is based on the study of a…

We construct a supercharacter theory for the group of invertible elements of a reduced algebra. For the case of the triangular group, we obtain the formula for values of supercharacters on superclasses.

Using explicit constructions of the Weierstrass mock modular form, we offer a closed formula for generating the values of shifted convolution $L$-values for certain elliptic curves that can be computed to arbitrary precision. These…
