On elliptic genera and theta-functions
@inproceedings{Liu1996OnEG, title={On elliptic genera and theta-functions}, author={Kefeng Liu}, year={1996} }
The main purpose of this paper is to give a simple and unified new proof of the Witten rigidity theorems, which were conjectured by Witten and first proved by Taubes [T], Bott-Taubes [BT], Hirzebruch [H] and Krichever [Kr]. Our proof shows that the modular invariance, which is the intrinsic symmetry of elliptic genera, actually implies their rigidity. Some new properties of elliptic genera and their relationships with theta-functions are also discussed. We remark that our proof makes essential… CONTINUE READING
