Charged-representation anomaly formula for elliptic Calabi–Yau threefolds

Let XBX\to B be an elliptic Calabi–Yau threefold with Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial terminal singularities {P}\{P\}, the relative minimal model of a Weierstrass model WBW\to B. Assume that rk(MW(X))=r\operatorname{rk}(\operatorname{MW}(X))=r, that

Σ=Σ0Σ1ΣN\Sigma=\Sigma_0\cup\Sigma_1\cup\cdots\cup\Sigma_N

is the discriminant, with simple algebra gi\mathfrak{g}_i associated to Σi\Sigma_i, and that the Weierstrass model is otherwise general. Define

R=30KB2+12(χtop(X)Pm(P)+2Pτ(P)).\mathcal R'=30K_B^2+\frac12\left(\chi_{top}(X)-\sum_Pm(P)+2\sum_P\tau(P)\right).

Here gi=g(Σi)g_i=g(\Sigma_i), gi=g(Σi)g'_i=g(\Sigma'_i), and QQ and CrC_r are codimension-two strata. Charged-representation anomaly conjecture.

R=i(gi1)(dimadji)ch+(gigi)(dimρ0,i)ch+Q(dimρQ)ch+Cr1+Pτ(P).\mathcal R'=\sum_i(g_i-1)(\dim\operatorname{adj}_i)_{ch}+(g'_i-g_i)(\dim\rho_{0,i})_{ch}+\sum_Q(\dim\rho_Q)_{ch}+\sum_{C_r}1+\sum_P\tau(P).

If QΣiΣjQ\in\Sigma_i\cap\Sigma_j, the associated representation ρQ\rho_Q is a tensor product representation for gigj\mathfrak{g}_i\oplus\mathfrak{g}_j. This extends the anomaly-counting formula to Mordell–Weil rank and terminal-singularity contributions; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
