Pillowcases and quasimodular forms
We prove that natural generating functions for enumeration of branched coverings of the pillowcase orbifold are level 2 quasimodular forms. This gives a way to compute the volumes of the strata of the moduli space of quadratic differentials.
متن کاملTopological Strings and (Almost) Modular Forms
The B-model topological string theory on a Calabi-Yau threefold X has a symmetry group Γ, generated by monodromies of the periods ofX . This acts on the topological string wave function in a natural way, governed by the quantum mechanics of the phase space H(X). We show that, depending on the choice of polarization, the genus g topological string amplitude is either a holomorphic quasi-modular ...
متن کاملQuasimodular Forms and S(m|m) ∧ Characters
In this paper, we establish automorphic properties and asymptotic behaviors of characters due to Kac–Wakimoto pertaining to s (m|n)∧ highest weight modules in the case m = n, extending work of Bringmann and Ono (Math Ann 345:547–558, 2009) and Bringmann and Folsom (submitted) which pertains to the case m > n.
متن کاملPoisson Structures and Star Products on Quasimodular Forms
We construct and classify all Poisson structures on quasimodular forms that extend the one coming from the first Rankin-Cohen bracket on the modular forms. We use them to build formal deformations on the algebra of quasimodular forms.
متن کاملGravity and Strings
This is a broad-brush review of how string theory addresses several important questions of gravitational physics. The problem of non-renormalizability is first reviewed, followed by introduction of string theory as an ultraviolet-finite theory of gravity. String theory’s successes also include predicting both gauge theory and fermions. The difficulty of extra dimensions becomes a possible virtu...
