A modern fareytail

Abstract: We revisit the "fareytail expansions" of elliptic genera which have been used in discussions of the AdS 3 /CFT 2 correspondence and the OSV conjecture. We show how to write such expansions without the use of the problematic "fareytail transform." In particular, we show how to write a general vector-valued modular form of nonpositive weight as a convergent sum over cosets of SL(2, Z). This sum suggests a new regularization of the gravity path integral in AdS 3 , resolves the puzzles associated with the "fareyta… Show more

“…One way to achieve this would be to recast the standard type IIA twistorial construction into the manifestly invariant framework developed in [36]. A naive attempt using the standard representation of the MSW elliptic genus as a Poincaré series [42] fails, due to the necessity of regulating the Poincaré series (see appendix C). It is conceivable that this obstruction may be avoided by taking into account the constraints on the polar degeneracies from modular invariance.…”

“…One possible strategy would be to recast the type IIA twistorial construction into the manifestly SL(2, Z)-invariant type IIB formalism presented in [36]. As a first step in this direction, one may try to use the Poincaré series representation (also known as Farey tail [41,42]) of the generating functions of the MSW invariants to represent the section of JHEP04(2013)002 (2)) describing D3-instanton corrections at linear order as a sum H = m,n G m,n , such that S-duality acts by permuting these contributions. Unfortunately, this manipulation is formal since Poincaré series with negative weight are divergent without a suitable regularization.…”

“…These saddlepoints encode exponentially suppressed contributions to W (q, p) and the full answer thus takes the form of a sum over geometries reminiscent of the black hole Farey tail [50][51][52]. In fact, this sum turns out to be precisely the low-energy manifestation of the so-called Rademacher series, which is a powerful tool to reconstruct the Fourier coefficients of modular objects.…”

“…This can be understood through the fact that there are no non-vanishing negative weight modular forms at any level. For discussions of this in related contexts, see [12][13][14]. Let us denote by V m the space of possible polar polynomials (without requiring that they correspond to the polar part of a bona fide weak Jacobi form).…”
