We study M-theory and D-brane quantum partition functions for microscopic black hole ensembles within the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence in terms of highest weight representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, elliptic genera, and Hilbert schemes, and describe their relations to elliptic modular forms. The common feature in our examples lies in the modular properties of the characters of certain representations of the pertinent affine Lie algebras, and in the role of spectral functions of hyperbolic three-geometry associated with q-series in the calculation of elliptic genera. We present new calculations of supergravity elliptic genera on local Calabi–Yau threefolds in terms of BPS invariants and spectral functions, and also of equivariant D-brane elliptic genera on generic toric singularities. We use these examples to conjecture a link between the black hole partition functions and elliptic cohomology.

Quantum Hamiltonian

We study the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie algebras and the free field realization of the associated W algebra. For the nonsimply laced case this reduction does not agree with the usual coset construction of the W minimal model. In particular, we find that the coset model [Formula: see text] can be obtained through the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the affine Lie superalgebra B(0, n)(1). To show this we also construct the Feigin-Fuchs representation of affine Lie superalgebras.
