From Number Theory to Physics

by D. Zagier, G. Christol, Amnon Katz, et al.

Book Overview

The present book contains fourteen expository contributions on various topics connected to Number Theory, or Arithmetics, and its relationships to Theoreti- cal Physics. The first part is mathematically oriented; it deals mostly with ellip- tic curves, modular forms, zeta functions, Galois theory, Riemann surfaces, and p-adic analysis. The second part reports on matters with more direct physical interest, such as periodic and quasiperiodic lattices,...
