Mixed toric residues and tropical degenerations

Building on our earlier work on toric residues and reduction, we give a proof for the mixed toric residue conejecture of Batyrev and Materov. We simplify and streamline our technique of tropical degenerations, which allows one to interpolate between two localization principles: one appearing in the intersection theory toric quotients and the other in the calculus of toric residues. This quickly leads to the proof of the conjecture, which gives a closed form for the summation of a generating series whose coefficients are certain variants of the "numbers" of rational curves on toric complete intersection Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Toric reduction and a conjecture of Batyrev and Materov

We present a new integration formula for intersection numbers on toric quotients, extending the results of Witten, Jeffrey and Kirwan on localization. Our work was motivated by the Toric Residue Mirror Conjecture of Batyrev and Materov; as an application of our integration formula, we obtain a proof of this conjecture in a generalized setting.

Residue formulae for vector partitions and Euler-MacLaurin sums

Given a finite set of vectors spanning a lattice and lying in a halfspace of a real vector space, to each vector $a$ in this vector space one can associate a polytope consisting of nonnegative linear combinations of the vectors in the set which sum up to $a$. This polytope is called the partition polytope of $a$. If $a$ is integral, this polytope contains a finite set of lattice points corresponding to nonnegative integral linear combinations. The partition polytope associated to an integral $a$ is a rational convex polytope, and any rational convex polytope can be realized canonically as a partition polytope. We consider the problem of counting the number of lattice points in partition polytopes, or, more generally, computing sums of values of exponential-polynomial functions on the lattice points in such polytopes. We give explicit formulae for these quantities using a notion of multi-dimensional residue due to Jeffrey-Kirwan. We show, in particular, that the dependence of these quantities on $a$ is exponential-polynomial on "large neighborhoods" of chambers. Our method relies on a theorem of separation of variables for the generating function, or, more generally, for periodic meromorphic functions with poles on an arrangement of affine hyperplanes.

A residue theorem for rational trigonometric sums and Verlinde's formula

We present a compact formula computing rational trigonometric sums. E. Verlinde's expression for the dimension of conformal blocks in WZW theory is an example of such a sum. As an application, we show that a formula of Bismut and Labourie for the Riemann-Roch numbers of moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface coincides with Verlinde's expression.

Iterated Residues and Multiple Bernoulli Polynomials

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of two-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory (or intersection numbers on moduli spaces of flat connections) can be given in the form of such infinite sums. Thus, in particular, our results give finite expressions for these correlation functions in the case of arbitrary compact structure groups G.

Trace functionals on non-commutative deformations of moduli spaces of flat connections

We describe an efficient construction of a canonical non-commutative deformation of the algebraic functions on the moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface. We show that this algebra, which is a variant of the quantum moduli algebra introduced by Alekseev-Grosse-Schomerus and Buffenoir-Roche, has a trace functional which is related to the canonical trace in the formal index theory of Fedosov and Nest-Tsygan via the Verlinde formula.

Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz and Dilogarithm Identities I

We consider the (A_n,A_1) Y-system arising in the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz. We prove the periodicity of solutions of this Y-system conjectured by Al.B. Zamolodchikov, and the dilogarithm identities conjectured by F. Gliozzi and R. Tateo.

The combinatorics of the Verlinde formulas

A residue formula is given for the Verlinde formula, which allows one to calculate its coefficients as a polynomial in the level and connects it to the Riemann-Roch formula on the moduli space of vector bundles on a curve.
