Modular Invariance and Anomaly Cancellation Formulas in Odd Dimension Ⅱ

By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, we get some generalized anomaly cancellation formulas on(4 r-1)-dimensional manifolds with no assumption that the 3 rd de-Rham cohomology of manifolds vanishes. These anomaly cancellation formulas generalize our previous anomaly cancellation formulas on(4 r-1)-dimensional manifolds. We also generalize our previous anomaly cancellation formulas on(4 r-1)-dimensional manifolds and the Han–Yu rigidity theorem to the(a, b) case.

Modular Invariance and Anomaly Cancellation Formulas

By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, we get some new anomaly cancellation formulas. As an application, we derive some results on divisibilities on spin manifolds and congruences on spinc manifolds.

Block Basis for Modular Coinvariants of Pseudo-Reflection Groups

We investigate the block basis for modular coinvariants of finite pseudo-reflection groups.We are particularly interested in the case of a subgroup G of the parabolic subgroups of GLn(q)which generalizes the Weyl groups of restricted Cartan typeLiealgebra.

Hecke-Langlands Duality and Witten’s Gravitational Moonshine

The purpose of this research is to give a dual description of conformal blocks of d=2 rational CFT (conformal field theory) in terms of Hecke eigenforms and eigensheaves. In particular, partition functions, conformal characters and lattice theta functions may be reconstructed from the action of Hecke operators. This method can be applied to: 1) rings of integers of Galois number fields equipped with the trace (or anti-trace) form;2) root lattices of affine Kac-Moody algebras and WZW-models;3) minimal models of Belavin-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov and related d=2 spin-chain/lattice models;4) vertex algebras of Leech and Niemeier lattices and others. We also use the original Witten’s idea to construct the 3-dimensional quantum gravity as the AdS/CFT-dual of c=24 Monster vertex algebra of Frenkel-Lepowsky- Meurman. Concerning the geometric Langlands duality, we use results of Beilinson-Drinfeld, Frenkel-Ben-Zvi, Gukov-Kapustin-Witten and many others (cf. references). The main new result in this paper is the construction of number-theoretical lattice vertex superalgebras in Section 5 and applications to conformal field theories and quantum gravity.

A note on modular forms and generalized anomaly cancellation formulas

By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms,we prove some new anomaly cancellation formulas which generalize the Han-Zhang and Han-Liu-Zhang anomaly cancellation formulas.

Modular Invariants and Singularity Indices of Hyperelliptic Fibrations

The modular invariants of a family of curves are the degrees of the pullback of the corresponding divisors by the moduli map. The singularity indices were introduced by Xiao(1991) to classify singular fibers of hyperelliptic fibrations and to compute global invariants locally. In semistable case, the author shows that the modular invariants corresponding to the boundary divisor classes are just the singularity indices. As an application,the author shows that the formula of Xiao for relative Chern numbers is the same as that of Cornalba-Harris in semistable case.

Fractional Dehn twists and modular invariants

In this paper, we establish a relationship between fractional Dehn twist coefficients of Riemann surface automorphisms and modular invariants of holomorphic families of algebraic curves. Specially, we give a characterization of pseudo-periodic maps with nontrivial fractional Dehn twist coefficients. We also obtain some uniform lower bounds of non-zero fractional Dehn twist coefficients.

On Modular Vector Invariant Fields

Let F_(q)be a finite field of any characteristic and GL(n,F_(q))be the general linear group over F_(q).Suppose W denotes the standard representation of GL(n,F_(q)),and GL(n,F_(q))acts diagonally on the direct sum of W and its dual space W^(∗).Let G be any subgroup of GL(n,F_(q)).Suppose the invariant field F_(q)(W)G=F_(q)(f1,f2,…,fk),where f1,f2,…,fk in F_(q)[W]G are homogeneous invariant polynomials.We prove that there exist homogeneous polynomialsl1,l2,…,ln in the invariant ring F_(q)[W⊕W^(∗)]G such that the invariant field F_(q)(W⊕W^(∗))G is generated by{f1,f2,…,fk,l1,l2,…,ln}over F_(q).

Modular Vector Invariants of Cyclic Groups Z_2

Let G be the finite cyclic group Z_2 and V be a vector space of dimension 2n with basis x_1,...,x_n,y_1,...,y_n over the field F with characteristic 2.If σ denotes a generator of G,we may assume that σ（x_i）= ayi,σ（y_i）= a～-1x_i,where a ∈ F.In this paper,we describe the explicit generator of the ring of modular vector invariants of F[V]～G.We prove that F[V]～G = F[l_i = x_i ＋ ay_i,q_i = x_iy_i,1 ≤ i ≤ n,M_I = X_I ＋ a～-I-Y_I],where I∈An = {1,2,...,n},2 ≤-I-≤ n.

Faltings Heights of Hyperelliptic Curves over Function Fields

Faltings heights over function fields of complex projective curves are modular invariants of families of curves.The question on minimized Faltings heights was raised by Mazur.In this note,we consider this question for a simple class of families of hyperelliptic curves.We obtain a complete result of this question in this case.
