Like the multiple zeta values, the multiple $t$-values can be multiplied according to the rules of the harmonic algebra. Using this fact, we obtain explicit formulas for multiple $t$-values of repeated arguments analogous to those known for multiple zeta values. Multiple $t$-values can be written as rational linear combinations of the alternating or \"colored\" multiple zeta values. Using known results for colored multiple zeta values, we obtain tables of multiple $t$-values through weight 7, suggesting some interesting conjectures, including one that the dimension of the rational vector space generated by weight-$n$ multiple $t$-values has dimension equal to the $n$th Fibonacci number. We express the generating function of the height one multiple $t$-values $t(n,1,...,1)$ in terms of a generalized hypergeometric function. We also define alternating multiple $t$-values and prove some results about them.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70422911","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}

They postulated that a Yang-Baxter equation underlies the properties of these Whittaker functions. We confirm this, and identify the corresponding Yang-Baxter equation with that of the quantum affine Lie superalgebra $U_{sqrt{v}}(widehat{mathfrak{gl}}(1|n))$, modified by Drinfeld twisting to introduce Gauss sums.

String amplitudes, however, typically involve integrands with polynomial or even exponential growth at the cusps, and a renormalization scheme is required to treat infrared divergences. Generalizing Zagier's extension of the Rankin-Selberg method at genus one, we develop the Rankin-Selberg method for Siegel modular functions of degree 2 and 3 with polynomial growth near the cusps. In particular, we show that the renormalized modular integral of the Siegel-Narain partition function of an even self-dual lattice of signature $(d,d)$ is proportional to a residue of the Langlands-Eisenstein series attached to the $h$-th antisymmetric tensor representation of the T-duality group $O(d,d,Z)$.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2016-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423276","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}

On the level of cohomology groups, there is a 90-degree rotation of the Hodge diamond, i.e. hp,q(X,C) = hn−p,q(X∨,C). Batyrev’s construction of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in Gorenstein Fano toric varieties associated to a pair of reflexive polytopes ([B]) is a prolific source of examples of mirror Calabi-Yau varieties. This construction was later generalized by Borisov to Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Gorenstein Fano toric varieties ([B1]), and further by Batyrev and Borisov to the mirror duality of reflexive Gorenstein cones ([BB1]). They proved that the stringtheoretic Hodge numbers of (singular) Calabi-Yau varieties arising from their constructions satisfy the expected mirror duality ([BB2]). Around the same time, physicists Berglund and Hübsch proposed a way to construct mirror pairs of (2, 2)-superconformal field theories in the formalism of orbifold Landau-Ginzburg theories ([BH]). They considered a nondegenerate invertible polynomial potential W whose transpose W∨ is again a non-degenerate invertible potential. They claimed that there exists a suitable group H such that the Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds W and W∨/H form a mirror pair. Recently, Krawitz found a general construction of the dual group G∨ for any subgroup G of diagonal symmetries of W , and proved an “LG-to-LG” mirror symmetry theorem for the pair (W/G,W∨/G∨) at the level of double-graded state spaces ([K]). Under a certain CY condition, the polynomials W , W∨ define CalabiYau hypersurfacesXW ,XW∨ in (usually different) weighted projective spaces.","PeriodicalId":55616,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Number Theory and Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423189","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}
