    Book description

    An indispensable resource for readers in physics and mathematics seeking a solid grasp of the mathematical tools shaping modern theoretical physics, this book comprises a practical introduction to the mathematical theory of modular forms and their application to the physics of string theory and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Suitable for adventurous undergraduates, motivated graduate students, and researchers wishing to navigate the intersection of cutting-edge research in physics and mathematics, it guides readers from the theory of elliptic functions to the fascinating mathematical world of modular forms, congruence subgroups, Hecke theory, and more. Having established a solid basis, the book proceeds to numerous applications in physics, with only minimal prior knowledge assumed. Appendices review foundational topics, making the text accessible to a broad audience, along with exercises and detailed solutions that provide opportunities for practice. After working through the book, readers will be equipped to carry out research in the field.

    Reviews

    ‘… suited for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and physics. The text includes solutions to the chapter problems that give good detail … Recommended.’

    E. Kincanon Source: Choice

    ‘This book provides a detailed account of modular form from a physics perspective, in the context of their application to string theory. It is written by two of the experts in the subject and gives a comprehensive mathematical physics account of modular forms. Certainly, this book is an essential reference for researchers working in this field.’
