Abstract: We define generalizations of the multiple elliptic gamma functions and the multiple sine functions, associated to good rational cones. We explain how good cones are related to collections of $S{L}_r(mathbbZ)$-elements and prove that the generalized multiple sine and multiple elliptic gamma functions enjoy infinite product representations and modular properties determined by the cone. This generalizes the modular properties of the elliptic gamma function studied by Felder and Varchenko, and the results about the usual multiple sine and elliptic gamma functions found by Narukawa.

Review text

Motivated by certain problems from theoretical physics (e.g. when computing the partition function of a supersymmetric gauge theory placed on a sphere), the author defines generalizations of the multiple elliptic gamma functions and multiple sine functions, associated to certain cones. Infinite product representations as well as modular properties are proved. The obtained results are generalizations of earlier theorems due to \textit{G. Felder} and \textit{A. Varchenko} [Adv. Math. 156, No. 1, 44--76 (2000; Zbl 1038.11029)], or \textit{A. Narukawa} [Adv. Math. 189, No. 2, 247--267 (2004; Zbl 1077.33024)]. The results are too complicated to be stated here.
