The most difficult point in our proof is to prove the vanishing of weighted Gauss sums that appear in coefficients of negative degree in asymptotic expansions of homological blocks. To deal with it, we develop a new technique for asymptotic expansions, which enables us to compare asymptotic expansions of rational functions and false theta functions related to WRT invariants and homological blocks, respectively. In our technique, our vanishing results follow from holomorphy of such rational functions.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among our results are a <i>monochrome factorization</i>, which is the realization of the Boltzmann weights by fusion of simpler weights, a <i>local lifting</i> property relating the colored models with uncolored models, and an action of the Iwahori–Hecke algebra on the partition functions of a particular family of models by Demazure–Lusztig operators. As an application of the local lifting property we reprove a theorem of Korff evaluating the partition functions of the uncolored models in terms of Hall–Littlewood polynomials. Our results are very closely parallel to the theory of fermionic models representing Iwahori–Whittaker functions developed by Brubaker, Buciumas, Bump and Gustafsson, with many striking relationships between the two theories, confirming the philosophy that the spherical and Whittaker models of principal series representations are dual.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only one of the conjugates of the motivic lift of the sunrise, other than itself, can be expressed in terms of motivic lifts of Feynman integrals of subquotient graphs. To relate the remaining conjugates to Feynman integrals we introduce a general tool: subdividing edges of a graph. We show that all motivic lifts of Feynman integrals associated to graphs obtained by subdividing edges from a graph $G$ are motivic periods of $G$ itself. This was conjectured by Brown in the case of graphs with no kinematic dependence. We also look at the single-valued periods associated to the functions on the motivic Galois group, i.e. the ‘de Rham periods’, which appear in the coaction on the sunrise, and show that they are generalisations of Brown’s non-holomorphic modular forms with two weights. In the second part of the paper we consider the relative completion of the torsor of paths on a modular curve and its periods, the theory of which is due to Brown and Hain. Brown studied the motivic periods of the relative completion of $mathcal{M}_{1,1}$ with respect to the tangential basepoint at infinity, and we generalise this to the case of the torsor of paths on any modular curve. We apply this to reprove the claim that the sunrise Feynman integral in the equal-mass case can be expressed in terms of Eichler integrals, periods of the underlying elliptic curve defined by one of the associated graph hypersurfaces, and powers of $2pi i$.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
