Moonshine Beyond The Monster The Bridge Connecting Algebra Modular Forms And Physics Terry Gannon by Terry Gannon instant download after payment.

Moonshine forms a way of explaining the mysterious connection between the monster finite group
and modular functions from classical number theory. The theory has evolved to describe the rela-
tionship between finite groups, modular forms and vertex operator algebras. Moonshine Beyond
the Monster, the first book of its kind, describes the general theory of Moonshine and its underly-
ing concepts, emphasising the interconnections between modern mathematics and mathematical
physics.
Written in a clear and pedagogical style, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers
working in areas such as conformal field theory, string theory, algebra, number theory, geometry
and functional analysis. Containing almost two hundred exercises, it is also a suitable textbook
for graduate courses on Moonshine and as supplementary reading for courses on conformal field
theory and string theory.
