We investigate modular embeddings for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups. First we prove some purely algebro-geometric or even topological criteria for a regular map from a smooth complex curve to a quaternionic Shimura variety to be covered by a modular embedding. Then we set up an adelic formalism for modular embeddings…

Study connects surface twists to curve invariants.

We prove a rigidity theorem for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups: If $Γ_1$, $Γ_2$ are two semi-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ virtually admitting modular embeddings and $f\colonΓ_1\toΓ_2$ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then $f$ is induced by an inner automor…

We study the structure of the invariant of K3 surfaces with involution, which we obtained using equivariant analytic torsion. It was known before that the invariant is expressed as the Petersson norm of an automorphic form on the moduli space. When the rank of the invariant sublattice of the K3-lattice with respect to …

Study of modular representations in homology of congruence subgroups.

É.Ghys proved that the linking numbers of modular knots and the "missing" trefoil $K_{2,3}$ in $S^3$ coincide with the values of a highly ubiquitous function called the Rademacher symbol for ${\rm SL}_2\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we replace ${\rm SL}_2\mathbb{Z}=Γ_{2,3}$ by the triangle group $Γ_{p,q}$ for any coprime …

As noticed by R.~Kulkarni, the conjugacy classes of subgroups of the modular group correspond bijectively to bipartite cuboid graphs. We'll explain how to recover the graph corresponding to a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ from the combinatorics of the right action of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ on the r…

New method calculates winding of geodesics on surfaces.

We introduce a groupoid ${\mathbf{ΠMG}}}$, called the fundamental modular groupoid, which is a variant of Penner's mapping class groupoid. We study how it relates to the surface mapping class groups and Thompson's group $\mathsf T$. We also introduce larger groupoid $\mathbf{ΩMG}$, which is related to outer automorphis…

New universal automorphic functions capture monstrous moonshine.

We consider a smooth groupoid of the form Σ\rtimesΓwhere Σis a Riemann surface and Γa discrete pseudogroup acting on Σby local conformal diffeomorphisms. After defining a K-cycle on the crossed product C_0(Σ)\rtimesΓgeneralising the classical Dolbeault complex, we compute its Chern character in cyclic cohomology, using…

We describe the action of the automorphism group of the complex cubic x^2+y^2+z^2-xyz-2 on the homology of its fibers. This action includes the action of the mapping class group of a punctured torus on the subvarieties of its SL(2,C) character variety given by fixing the trace of the peripheral element (so-called "rela…

Let X be a Hermitian locally symmetric space. We prove that every Chern class of X has a canonical lift to the cohomology of the Baily- Borel-Satake compactification X* of X and that the resulting Chern numbers satisfy the Hirzebruch proportionality formula with respect to the compact dual X^ of X. The same result hold…

We give a local expression for the {\it scalar curvature} of the noncommutative two torus $A_θ = C(\mathbb{T}_θ^2)$ equipped with an arbitrary translation invariant complex structure and Weyl factor. This is achieved by evaluating the value of the (analytic continuation of the) {\it spectral zeta functional} $ζ_a(s): …

We propose multidimensional versions of the Painlevé VI equation and its degenerations. These field theories are related to the isomonodromy problems of flat holomorphic infinite rank bundles over elliptic curves and take the form of non-autonomous Hamiltonian equations. The modular parameter of curves plays the role o…

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

Study modular surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, classifying and analyzing their curvature and applications.

We show that up to automorphisms of $\mathbb P^2_{\mathbb C}$ there are $14$ homogeneous convex foliations of degree $5$ on $\mathbb P^2_{\mathbb C}.$ We establish some properties of the Fermat foliation $\mathcal F_{0}^{d}$ of degree $d\geq2$ and of the Hilbert modular foliation $\mathcal{F}_H^{5}$ of degree $5.$ As a…

This review establishes a taxonomy for modular neural networks.

Study modular forms over Γ^0(2) and anomaly cancellation formulas.

Our aim is to introduce and advocate non-$Σ$ (non-symmetric) modular operads. While ordinary modular operads were inspired by the structure of the moduli space of stable complex curves, non-$Σ$ modular operads model surfaces with open strings outputs. An immediate application of our theory is a short proof that the mod…

Neural networks learn modular arithmetic but not all, extending known solutions to generalize.

Fuchsian groups with a modular embedding have the richest arithmetic properties among non-arithmetic Fuchsian groups. But they are very rare, all known examples being related either to triangle groups or to Teichmueller curves. In Part I of this paper we study the arithmetic properties of the modular embedding and deve…

Geodesics on modular surface yield arithmetic 3-manifolds.

We introduce the notion of the modular class of a Lie algebroid equipped with a Nambu structure. In particular, we recover the modular class of a Nambu-Poisson manifold $M$ with its Nambu tensor $Λ$ as the modular class of the tangent Lie algebroid $TM$ with Nambu structure $Λ.$ We show that many known properties of th…

Quantum modularity proved for SU(2) TQFT signature on genus 2 surfaces.

Motivated by a question of Hirzebruch on the possible topological types of cusp cross-sections of Hilbert modular varieties, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a manifold M to be diffeomorphic to a cusp cross-section of a Hilbert modular variety. Specialized to Hilbert modular surfaces, this proves that e…

In this paper the exact linear relation between the leading eigenvectors of the modularity matrix and the singular vectors of an uncentered data matrix is developed. Based on this analysis the concept of a modularity component is defined, and its properties are developed. It is shown that modularity component analysis …

Sharp lower bounds for modular invariants and Dehn twist coefficients in genus 2 and 3.

This paper develops the exact linear relationship between the leading eigenvector of the unnormalized modularity matrix and the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix. We propose a method for approximating the leading eigenvector of the modularity matrix, and we derive the error of the approximation. There is also a comp…
