Hirzebruch functional equation: classification of solutions

Publication date 18 December 2019

Abstract: The Hirzebruch functional equation is [ sum_{i = 1}^{n} prod_{j e i} { 1 over f(z_j - z_i)} = c ] with constant

c

and initial conditions

f (0) = 0, f^{'} (0) = 1

. In this paper we find all solutions of the Hirzebruch functional equation for

n l e q s l a n t 6

in the class of meromorphic functions and in the class of series. Previously, such results were known only for

n l e q s l a n t 4

. The Todd function is the function determining the two-parametric Todd genus (i.e. the

c h i_{a, b}

-genus). It gives a solution to the Hirzebruch functional equation for any

n

. The elliptic function of level

N

is the function determining the elliptic genus of level

N

. It gives a solution to the Hirzebruch functional equation for

n

divisible by

N

. A series corresponding to a meromorphic function

f

with parameters in

U s u b s e t m a t h b b C^{k}

is a series with parameters in the Zariski closure of

U

in

m a t h b b C^{k}

, such that for parameters in

U

it coincides with the series expansion at zero of

f

. The main results are: Any series solution of the Hirzebruch functional equation for

n = 5

corresponds to the Todd function or to the elliptic function of level

5

. Any series solution of the Hirzebruch functional equation for

n = 6

corresponds to the Todd function or to the elliptic function of level

2

,

3

or

6

. This gives a complete classification of complex genera that are fiber multiplicative with respect to

m a t h b b C P^{n - 1}

for

n l e q s l a n t 6

.
