The functional relation coming from the $x-y$ symplectic transformation of Topological Recursion has a lot of applications; for instance it is the higher order moment-cumulant relation in free probability or can be used to compute intersection numbers on the moduli space of complex curves. We derive the Laplace transform of this functional relation, which has a very nice and compact form as a formal power series in $hbar$. We apply the Laplace transformed formula to the Airy curve and the Lambert curve which provides simple formulas for $psi$-class intersections numbers and Hodge integrals on $overline{mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$.

We study the Drinfeld double of the (equivariant spherical) Cohomological Hall algebra in the sense of Kontsevich and Soibelman, associated to a smooth toric Calabi–Yau $3$-fold $X$. By general reasons, the COHA acts on the cohomology of the moduli spaces of certain perverse coherent systems on $X$ via “raising operators”. Conjecturally the COHA action extends to an action of the Drinfeld double by adding the “lowering operators”. In this paper, we show that the Drinfeld double is a generalization of the notion of the Cartan doubled Yangian defined earlier by Finkelberg and others. We extend this “$3d$ Calabi–Yau perspective” on the Lie theory furthermore by associating a root system to certain families of $X$. We formulate a conjecture that the above-mentioned action of the Drinfeld double factors through a shifted Yangian of the root system. The shift is explicitly determined by the moduli problem and the choice of stability conditions, and is expressed explicitly in terms of an intersection number in $X$. We check the conjectures in several examples, including a special case of an earlier conjecture of Costello.

We analyze the coefficients of partition functions of Vafa–Witten (VW) theory on a four-manifold. These partition functions factorize into a product of a function enumerating pointlike instantons and a function enumerating smooth instantons. For gauge groups $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ and four-manifold the complex projective plane $mathbb{CP}^2$, we experimentally study the latter functions, which are examples of mock modular forms of depth $1$, weight $3/2$, and depth $2$, weight $3$ respectively. We also introduce the notion of “mock cusp form”, and study an example of weight $3$ related to the $SU(3)$ partition function. Numerical experiments on the first 200 coefficients of these mock modular forms suggest that the coefficients of these functions grow as $O(n^{k-1})$ for the respective weights $k = 3/2$ and $3$. This growth is similar to that of a modular form of weight $k$. On the other hand the coefficients of the mock cusp form of weight $3$ appear to grow as $O(n^{3/2})$, which exceeds the growth of classical cusp forms of weight $3$. We provide bounds using saddle point analysis, which however largely exceed the experimental observation.

We consider the Hurwitz Dubrovin–Frobenius manifold structure on the space of meromorphic functions on the Riemann sphere with exactly two poles, one simple and one of arbitrary order. We prove that the all genera partition function (also known as the total descendant potential) associated with this Dubrovin–Frobenius manifold is a tau function of a rational reduction of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy. This statement was conjectured by Liu, Zhang, and Zhou. We also provide a partial enumerative meaning for this partition function associating one particular set of times with enumeration of rooted hypermaps.

In 1992 Wirthmüller showed that for any irreducible root system not of type $E_8$ the ring of weak Jacobi forms invariant under Weyl group is a polynomial algebra. However, it has recently been proved that for $E_8$ the ring is not a polynomial algebra. Weyl invariant $E_8$ Jacobi forms have many applications in string theory and it is an open problem to describe such forms. The scaled refined free energies of $E$-strings with certain $eta$-function factors are conjectured to be Weyl invariant $E_8$ quasi-holomorphic Jacobi forms. It is further observed that the scaled refined free energies up to some powers of $E_4$ can be written as polynomials in nine Sakai’s $E_8$ Jacobi forms and Eisenstein series $E_2, E_4, E_6$. Motivated by the physical conjectures, we prove that for any Weyl invariant $E_8$ Jacobi form $phi_t$ of index $t$ the function $E^{[t/5]}_4 Delta^{[5t/6]} phi_t$ can be expressed uniquely as a polynomial in $E_4$, $E_6$ and Sakai’s forms, where $[x]$ is the integer part of $x$. This means that a Weyl invariant $E_8$ Jacobi form is completely determined by a solution of some linear equations. By solving the linear systems, we determine the generators of the free module of Weyl invariant $E_8$ weak (resp. holomorphic) Jacobi forms of given index $t$ when $t leq 13$ (resp. $t leq 11$).

In this article, we find the full Fourier expansion for solutions of $(Delta-lambda)f(z) = -E_k (z) E_ell (z)$ for $z = x + i y in mathfrak{H}$ for certain values of parameters $k$, $ell$ and $lambda$. When such an $f$ is fully automorphic these functions are referred to as generalized non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. We give a connection of the boundary condition on such Fourier series with convolution formulas on the divisor functions. Additionally, we discuss a possible relation with the differential Galois theory.

The quantization of the mirror curve to a toric Calabi–Yau threefold gives rise to quantum-mechanical operators, whose fermionic spectral traces produce factorially divergent power series in the Planck constant. These asymptotic expansions can be promoted to resurgent trans-series. They show infinite towers of periodic singularities in their Borel plane and infinitely many rational Stokes constants, which are encoded in generating functions expressed in closed form in terms of $q$-series. We provide an exact solution to the resurgent structure of the first fermionic spectral trace of the local $mathbb{P}^2$ geometry in the semiclassical limit of the spectral theory, corresponding to the strongly-coupled regime of topological string theory on the same background in the conjectural TS/ST correspondence. Our approach straightforwardly applies to the dual weakly-coupled limit of the topological string. We present and prove closed formulae for the Stokes constants as explicit arithmetic functions and for the perturbative coefficients as special values of known $L$-functions, while the duality between the two scaling regimes of strong and weak string coupling constant appears in number-theoretic form. A preliminary numerical investigation of the local $mathbb{F}_0$ geometry unveils a more complicated resurgent structure with logarithmic sub-leading asymptotics. Finally, we obtain a new analytic prediction on the asymptotic behavior of the fermionic spectral traces in an appropriate WKB double-scaling regime, which is captured by the refined topological string in the Nekrasov–Shatashvili limit.

The $c_2$-invariant is an arithmetic graph invariant useful for understanding Feynman periods. Brown and Schnetz conjectured that the $c_2$-invariant has a particular symmetry known as completion invariance. This paper will prove completion invariance of the $c_2$-invariant in the $p=2$ case, extending previous work of one of us. The methods are combinatorial and enumerative involving counting certain partitions of the edges of the graph.

We solve Diophantine equations of the type $a(x^3+y^3+z^3)=(x+y+z)^3$, where $x$, $y$, $z$ are integer variables, and the coefficient $a neq 0$ is rational. We show that there are infinite families of such equations, including those where $a$ is any cube or certain rational fractions, that have nontrivial solutions. There are also infinite families of equations that do not have any nontrivial solution, including those where $1/a=1-24/m$ with restrictions on the integer $m$. The equations can be represented by elliptic curves unless $a=9$ or $1$, and any elliptic curve of nonzero $j$-invariant and torsion group $mathbb{Z}/3kmathbb{Z}$ for $k=2,3,4$, or $mathbb{Z}/2mathbb{Z} times mathbb{Z}/6mathbb{Z}$ corresponds to a particular $a$. We prove that for any $a$ the number of nontrivial solutions is at most $3$ or is infinite, and for integer $a$ it is either $0$ or $infty$. For $a=9$, we find the general solution, which depends on two integer parameters. These cubic equations are important in particle physics, because they determine the fermion charges under the $U(1)$ gauge group.
