Physical Math Seminar @SIMIS: Modularity in d>2 conformal field theories

Speaker: Yang Lei (Soochow University)

Abstract: In this talk I will talk about three models and related special functions as the partition function.

  1. Superconformal field theories in 4d
  2. Free scalars in even dimensions
  3. Free scalars in odd dimensions

It turns out that the modularities of these conformal field theories are closely related to sets of special functions including multiple Sine functions and multiple elliptic Gamma functions. I will discuss their properties and applications in the conformal field theories related to the special functions, and possibly indications to black hole physics.
