In this paper, we introduce the class of $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions and corresponding points, which can be seen as a family of {\it generalized} Chebyshev polynomials and points. For the $(\beta,\gamma)$-Chebyshev functions, we…

We say a mirror pair of Calabi-Yau varieties exhibits strong arithmetic mirror symmetry if the number of points on each variety over a finite field is equivalent, modulo the order of that field. We search for strong mirror symmetry in…

The recent result of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow relating mirror symmetry to the quantum field theory notion of T-duality is reinterpreted as providing a way of geometrically characterizing which Calabi-Yau manifolds have mirror partners.…

Generalizing a result of \cite{Z1991, CPZ} about elliptic modular forms, we give a closed formula for the sum of all Hilbert Hecke eigenforms over a totally real number field with strict class number $1$, multiplied by their period…

We derive the period structure of several one-modulus Calabi-Yau manifolds. With this knowledge we then obtain the generators of the duality group and the mirror map that defines the physical variable $t$ representing the radius of…

Let X be a normal projective Q-Gorenstein variety with at worst log-terminal singularities. We prove a formula expressing the total stringy Chern class of a generic complete intersection in X via the total stringy Chern class of X. This…

Let $A = (a_1,\dots,a_n)\in \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a sequence with sum $k(2g-2+n)$. The double ramification cycle $\mathsf{DR}_g(A) \in \mathsf{CH}^g(\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n})$ is the virtual class of the locus of curves $(C,p_1,\dots,p_n)$ where…

In this paper, we investigate the sums of mutliple zeta(-star) values of height one: $Z_{\pm}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta(\{1\}^a,b+2)$, $Z_{\pm}^{\star}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta^{\star}(\{1\}^a,b+2)$. In particular, we prove that…

Using the Polya Enumeration Theorem, we count with particular attention to C^3/Gamma up to C^6/Gamma, abelian orbifolds in various dimensions which are invariant under cycles of the permutation group S_D. This produces a collection of…

It oftens occurs that Taylor coefficients of (dimensionally regularized) Feynman amplitudes $I$ with rational parameters, expanded at an integral dimension $D= D_0$, are not only periods (Belkale, Brosnan, Bogner, Weinzierl) but actually…

These notes consist of a study of special Lagrangian submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds and their moduli spaces. The particular case of three dimensions, important in string theory, allows us to introduce the notion of gerbes. These offer…

It is argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ with a mirror $Y$ admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. Moreover the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space $Y$. The mirror…

The equivariant motivic Chern class of a Schubert cell in a `complete' flag manifold $X=G/B$ is an element in the equivariant K theory ring of $X$ to which one adjoins a formal parameter $y$. In this paper we prove several `folklore…

For a line bundle $L$ on a smooth projective surface $X$ and nonnegative integers $k_1, \ldots, k_N$, Okounkov \cite{Oko} introduced the reduced generating series $\big \langle {\rm ch}_{k_1}^{L} \cdots {\rm ch}_{k_N}^{L} \big \rangle'$ for…

We present results for infinite series appearing in Feynman diagram calculations, many of which are similar to the Euler series. These include both one-, two- and three-dimensional series. All these series can be expressed in terms of…

We consider Riordan arrays $\bigl(1/(1-t^{d+1}), ~ tp(t)\bigr)$. These are infinite lower triangular matrices determined by the formal power series $1/(1-t^{d+1})$ and a polynomial $p(t)$ of degree $d$. Columns of such matrix are eventually…

Lecture notes from 1993 Park City lectures and 1994 Trento lectures. The focus of these lectures is on giving a mathematical description of the A-model and B-model correlation functions on a Calabi--Yau manifold, and a precise mathematical…

We propose a new method to compute asymptotics of periods using tropical geometry, in which the Riemann zeta values appear naturally as error terms in tropicalization. Our method suggests how the Gamma class should arise from the…

We define a generalisation of the completed Riemann zeta function in several complex variables. It satisfies a functional equation, shuffle product identities, and has simple poles along finitely many hyperplanes, with a recursive structure…

It is shown that novel relations between multiple zeta values and single-variable multiple polylogarithms at 1/2 (delta values) can be derived by comparing two distinct, yet a priori equal, series formulae for the Drinfeld associator (from…
