In this paper we define and examine the truncated Witten genus. It is defined as the equivariant index of the Dirac operator on the manifold Map(Cp, M) with its natural Cp-action. Here, Map(Cp, M) is the space of maps from the cyclic group of order p into a closed, connected, spin manifold, By applying the Atiyah-Singer index theorem we give a topological formula for the truncated Witten genus ...

Recently, Andrews and Merca considered the truncated version of Euler’s pentagonal number theorem and obtained a non-negative result on the coefficients of this truncated series. Guo and Zeng showed the coefficients of two truncated Gauss’ identities are non-negative and they conjectured that the truncated Jacobi’s identity also has non-negative coefficients. Mao provided a proof of this conjec...

1 We derive formulae for the higher order tail moments of the lower truncated multivariate standard normal (MVSN), Student’s t, lognormal and a finite-mixture of multivariate normal distributions (FMVN). For the MVSN we propose a recursive formula for moments of arbitrary order as a generalization of previous research. For the Student’s t-distribution, the recursive formula is an extension of t...
