Title: Elliptic modular graph forms. Part I. Identities and generating series
A bstract Elliptic modular graph functions and forms (eMGFs) are defined for arbitrary graphs as natural generalizations of modular graph functions and forms obtained by including the character of an Abelian group in their Kronecker-Eisenstein series. The simplest examples of eMGFs are given by the Green function for a massless scalar field on the torus and the Zagier single-valued elliptic polylogarithms. More complicated eMGFs are produced by the non-separating degeneration of a higher genus surface to a genus one surface with punctures. eMGFs may equivalently be represented by multiple integrals over the torus of combinations of coefficients of the Kronecker-Eisenstein series, and may be assembled into generating series. These relations are exploited to derive holomorphic subgraph reduction formulas, as well as algebraic and differential identities between eMGFs and their generating series.  more » « less

    The Eichler-Selberg trace formulas express the traces of Hecke operators on a spaces of cusp forms in terms of weighted sums of Hurwitz-Kronecker class numbers. For cusp forms on $$\text {\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}),$$ Zagier proved these formulas by cleverly making use of the weight 3/2 nonholomorphic Eisenstein series he discovered in the 1970s. The holomorphic part of this form, its so-called {\it mock modular form}, is the generating function for these class numbers. In this expository note we revisit Zagier's method, and we show how to obtain such formulas for congruence subgroups, working out the details for $$\Gamma_0(2)$$ and $$\Gamma_0(4).$$ The trace formulas fall out naturally from the computation of the Rankin-Cohen brackets of Zagier's mock modular form with specific theta functions.

    A bstract Modular graph functions (MGFs) are SL(2 , ℤ)-invariant functions on the Poincaré upper half-plane associated with Feynman graphs of a conformal scalar field on a torus. The low-energy expansion of genus-one superstring amplitudes involves suitably regularized integrals of MGFs over the fundamental domain for SL(2 , ℤ). In earlier work, these integrals were evaluated for all MGFs up to two loops and for higher loops up to weight six. These results led to the conjectured uniform transcendentality of the genus-one four-graviton amplitude in Type II superstring theory. In this paper, we explicitly evaluate the integrals of several infinite families of three-loop MGFs and investigate their transcendental structure. Up to weight seven, the structure of the integral of each individual MGF is consistent with the uniform transcendentality of string amplitudes. Starting at weight eight, the transcendental weights obtained for the integrals of individual MGFs are no longer consistent with the uniform transcendentality of string amplitudes. However, in all the cases we examine, the violations of uniform transcendentality take on a special form given by the integrals of triple products of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. If Type II superstring amplitudes do exhibit uniform transcendentality, then the special combinations of MGFs which enter the amplitudes must be such that these integrals of triple products of Eisenstein series precisely cancel one another. Whether this indeed is the case poses a novel challenge to the conjectured uniform transcendentality of genus-one string amplitudes.

    We study the sup-norm bound (both individually and on average) for Eisenstein series on certain arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds producing sharp exponents for the modular surface and Picard 3-fold. The methods involve bounds for Epstein zeta functions, and counting restricted values of indefinite quadratic forms at integer points.

    Abstract We consider the generating series of special cycles on , with full level structure, valued in the cohomology of degree . The modularity theorem of Kudla–Millson for locally symmetric spaces implies that these series are modular. When , the images of these loci in are the ‐elliptic Noether–Lefschetz loci, which are conjectured to be modular. In the Appendix, it is shown that the resulting modular forms are nonzero for when and .

    Abstract In this paper, we prove one divisibility of the Iwasawa–Greenberg main conjecture for the Rankin–Selberg product of a weight two cusp form and an ordinary complex multiplication form of higher weight, using congruences between Klingen Eisenstein series and cusp forms on $$\mathrm {GU}(3,1)$$ , generalizing an earlier result of the third-named author to allow nonordinary cusp forms. The main result is a key input in the third-named author’s proof of Kobayashi’s $$\pm $$ -main conjecture for supersingular elliptic curves. The new ingredient here is developing a semiordinary Hida theory along an appropriate smaller weight space and a study of the semiordinary Eisenstein family.
