The rational ones can be solved using methods from algebraic geometry. One particular feature is the covariance of the partition function under the mapping class group. In genus $g=1$, one can apply the standard theory of modular forms, which can be linked to ordinary differential equations of hypergeometric type.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-22T16:41:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81T40" ], "keywords": [ "minimal models", "algebraic approach", "ordinary differential equations", "riemann surfaces", "mapping class group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
