Similarity:

This paper is based on lectures delivered at the Workshop on quasimodular forms held in June, 2010 in Besse, France, and it provides a survey of some recent work on quasimodular forms.

Class invariants and cyclotomic unit groups from special values of modular units

Amanda Folsom (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In this article we obtain class invariants and cyclotomic unit groups by considering specializations of modular units. We construct these modular units from functional solutions to higher order q -recurrence equations given by Selberg in his work generalizing the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. As a corollary, we provide a new proof of a result of Zagier and Gupta, originally considered by Gauss, regarding the Gauss periods. These results comprise part of the author’s 2006 Ph.D. thesis []...

Differential calculus on 'non-standard' (h-deformed) Minkowski spaces

José de Azcárraga, Francisco Rodenas (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The differential calculus on 'non-standard' h-Minkowski spaces is given. In particular it is shown that, for them, it is possible to introduce coordinates and derivatives which are simultaneously hermitian.
