Liouville Theory and Elliptic Genera
The structure and modular properties of N = 4 superconformal characters are reviewed and exploited, in an attempt to construct elliptic genera-like functions by decompactifying K3. The construction is tested against expressions obtained in the context of strings propagating in background ALE spaces of type AN−1, using the underlying superconformal theory N = 2 minimal ⊗ N = 2 Liouville.
متن کاملOrbifold Elliptic Genera and Rigidity
Let M be a closed almost complex manifold on which a compact connected Lie group G acts non-trivially. If the first Chern class of M is divisible by an integer N greater than 1, then its equivariant elliptic genus φ(M) of level N is rigid, i.e., it is constant as a virtual character of G. This result was predicted by Witten [W] and proved by Taubes [T], Bott-Taubes [BT] and Hirzebruch [H]. Elli...
متن کاملSpin-manifolds and elliptic genera
We present an extension of the “miraculous cancellation” formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé, Witten and Kefeng Liu to a twisted version where an extra complex line bundle is involved. Relations to the Ochanine congruence formula on 8k + 4 dimensional Spinc manifolds are discussed. To cite this article: F. Han, W. Zhang, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

متن کاملEquivariant Elliptic Genera
We introduce the equivariant elliptic genus for open varieties and prove an equivariant version of the change of variable formula for blow-ups along complete intersections. In addition, we prove the equivariant elliptic genus analogue of the McKay correspondence for the ALE spaces.
متن کاملOn Elliptic Genera and Foliations
We prove several vanishing theorems for a class of generalized elliptic genera on foliated manifolds, by using classical equivariant index theory. The main techniques are the use of the Jacobi theta-functions and the construction of a new class of elliptic operators associated to foliations.
