Anderson self-duality of topological modular forms and heretoric string theory (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Topological Modular Forms (TMF) is an E-infinity ring spectrum which is conjectured by Stolz-Teichner to classify two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories in physics. In the previous work with Y. Tachikawa, we proved the vanishing of anomalies in heterotic string theory mathematically by using TMF. In this talk, I explain our recent update on the previous work. Because of the vanishing result, we can consider a secondary transformation of spectra, which is shown to coincide with the Anderson self-duality morphism of TMF. This allows us to detect subtle torsion phenomena in TMF by differential-geometric ways.
