The two-variable elliptic genus in odd dimensions

Abstract

A kind of two-variable elliptic genus for almost-complex manifolds was introduced by Ping Li and its various properties were established by him. In this paper, we define a two-variable elliptic genus for odd dimensional spin manifolds which is the index for some Toeplitz operator and a holomorphic $SL(2,Z)$-Jacobi form. We also define some two-variable elliptic genera for almost-complex manifolds and odd dimensional spin manifolds which are holomorphic $Γ_0(2)$, $Γ^0(2)$, $Γ_θ$-Jacobi forms. By these Jacobi forms, we can get some $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ and $Γ^0(2)$ modular forms. By these $SL(2,{\bf Z})$ and $Γ^0(2)$ modular forms, we get some interesting anomaly cancellation formulas for almost complex manifolds and odd spin manifolds. As corollaries, we get some divisibility results of the holomorphic Euler characteristic number and the index of Toeplitz operators. In addition, we also define some another two-variable elliptic genera for even (rep. odd ) dimensional manifolds which are meromorphic $Γ_0(2)$, $Γ^0(2)$, $Γ_θ$-Jacobi forms.
