The Elliptic Curve in the S-duality Theory and Eisenstein Series for Kac-moody Groups

چکیده
We establish a relation between the generating functions appearing in the S-duality conjecture of Vafa and Witten and geometric Eisenstein series for KacMoody groups. For a pair consisting of a surface and a curve on it, we consider a refined generating function (involving G-bundles with parabolic structures along the curve) which depends on the elliptic as well as modular variables and prove its functional equation with respect to the affine Weyl group, thus establishing the elliptic behavior. When the curve is P, we calculate the Eisenstein-Kac-Moody series explicitly and it turns out to be a certain deformation of the irreducible Kac-Moody character, more precisely, an analog of the HallLittlewood polynomial for the affine root system. We also get an explicit formula for the universal blowup function for any simply connected structure group.

Integer Forms of Kac–moody Groups and Eisenstein Series in Low Dimensional Supergravity Theories
Abstract. Kac–Moody groups G over R have been conjectured to occur as symmetry groups of supergravities in dimensions less than 3, and their integer forms G(Z) are conjecturally U– duality groups. Mathematical descriptions of G(Z), due to Tits, are functorial and not amenable to computation or applications. We construct Kac–Moody groups over R and Z using an analog of Chevalley’s constructions ...

متن کاملFourier expansions of Kac–Moody Eisenstein series and degenerate Whittaker vectors
Motivated by string theory scattering amplitudes that are invariant under a discrete U-duality, we study Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series on Kac– Moody groups. In particular, we analyse the Eisenstein series on E9(R), E10(R) and E11(R) corresponding to certain degenerate principal series at the values s = 3/2 and s = 5/2 that were studied in [1]. We show that these Eisenstein series ha...
متن کاملKac–moody Groups and Automorphic Forms in Low Dimensional Supergravity Theories
Kac–Moody groups G over R have been conjectured to occur as symmetry groups of supergravity theories dimensionally reduced to dimensions less than 3, and their integral forms G(Z) conjecturally encode quantized symmetries. In this review paper, we briefly introduce the conjectural symmetries of Kac–Moody groups in supergravity as well as the known evidence for these conjectures. We describe con...
متن کاملPerturbative terms of Kac-Moody-Eisenstein series
Supersymmetric theories of gravity can exhibit surprising hidden symmetries when considered on manifolds that include a torus. When the torus is of large dimension these symmetries can become infinite-dimensional and of Kac-Moody type. When taking quantum effects into account the symmetries become discrete and invariant functions under these symmetries should play an important role in quantum g...
