On generalizations of Verlinde's formula

[摘要] It is shown how traces of higher genus mapping classes of finite order may be expressed by Verlinde-like formulae involving only genus one modular matrix elements. The 3D topological argument leading to the result is explained, and the related trace identities for modular matrix elements are presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
