Mock modularity and a secondary elliptic genus
read the original abstract
The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of some of these invariants. The theory of mock modular forms makes a surprise appearance, shedding light on the integrality properties of some well-known examples.

Elliptic Genera of 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,1)$ Gauge Theories
Derives a residue formula for elliptic genera in 2d (0,1) gauge theories that recovers the Jeffrey-Kirwan prescription for (0,2) theories and applies it to the Gukov-Pei-Putrov model to study its phase structure.
