Modular Invariance and Twisted Cancellations of Characteristic Numbers

چکیده
By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, which are related to elliptic genera, we obtain twisted cancellation formulas for characteristic forms. We apply these twisted cancellation formulas to study divisibilities on spin manifolds and congruences on spinc manifolds. In particular, we obtain twisted Rokhlin congruences for 8k + 4 dimensional spinc manifolds.

Modular Invariance and Twisted Anomaly Cancellations for Characteristic Numbers
By studying modular invariance properties of some characteristic forms, we obtain twisted anomaly cancellation formulas. We apply these twisted cancellation formulas to study divisibilities on spin manifolds and congruences on spinc manifolds. Especially, we get twisted Rokhlin congruences for 8k + 4 dimensional spinc manifolds.
متن کاملModular Invariance Characteristic Numbers and Η Invariants
We extend the “miraculous cancellation” formulas of Alvarez– Gaumé, Witten and Kefeng Liu to a twisted version where an extra complex line bundle is involved. We apply our result to discuss intrinsic relations between the higher dimensional Rokhlin type congruences due to Ochanine, Finashin and Zhang. In particular, an analytic proof of the Finashin congruence is given.

We generalize the “miraculous cancellation” formulas of Alvarez-Gaumé, Witten and Kefeng Liu to a twisted version where an extra complex line bundle is involved. We also apply our result to discuss intrinsic relations between the higher dimensional Rokhlin type congruence formulas of Ochanine [O1], Finashin [F] and Zhang [Z1, 2]. In particular, an analytic proof of the Finashin congruence formu...
متن کاملModular Invariance and Characteristic Numbers
We prove that a general miraculous cancellation formula, the divisibility of certain characteristic numbers, and some other topological results related to the generalized Rochlin invariant, the η-invariant and the holonomies of certain determinant line bundles, are consequences of the modular invariance of elliptic operators on loop space. 1. Motivations In [AW], a gravitational anomaly cancell...
متن کاملPeriodic Oscillations in the Analysis of Algorithms and Their Cancellations
A large number of results in analysis of algorithms contain fluctuations. A typical result might read “The expected number of . . . for large n behaves like log2 n + constant + delta(log2 n), where delta(x) is a periodic function of period one and mean zero.” Examples include various trie parameters, approximate counting, probabilistic counting, radix exchange sort, leader election, skip lists,...
