Description
Modular Forms and String Theory provides a rigorous exploration of the intricate relationships between modular forms—fundamental objects in number theory and algebra—and string theory, one of the most ambitious frameworks in theoretical physics. Written by leading experts Eric D’Hoker and Justin Kaidi, this work demonstrates how modular forms emerge naturally in string theory calculations and how physical insights from string theory illuminate mathematical properties of modular forms.
The book covers classical modular forms, their generalizations, and their applications to string compactifications, partition functions, and dualities. Through careful exposition and detailed examples, readers gain insight into how these mathematical structures encode essential information about string theory’s consistency conditions and quantum properties. This work serves as both a mathematical reference and a bridge between pure mathematics and theoretical physics, making it invaluable for graduate students and researchers in both fields.
