48 results for mock modular forms

Mock modular forms have found applications in numerous branches of mathematical sciences since they were first introduced by Ramanujan nearly a century ago. In this proceeding we highlight a new area where mock modular forms start to play an important role, namely the study of three-manifold invariants. For a certain c…

We find and propose an explanation for a large variety of modularity-related symmetries in problems of 3-manifold topology and physics of 3d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 theories where such structures a priori are not manifest. These modular structures include: mock modular forms, SL(2,Z)SL(2,\mathbb{Z}) Weil representations, quantum mo…

Fuchsian groups with a modular embedding have the richest arithmetic properties among non-arithmetic Fuchsian groups.
