Description for Topological Modular Forms
Editor(s): Douglas, Christopher L.; Francis, John; Henriques, Andre G.; Hill, Michael A. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 315 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBM; PBP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 254 x 178. .
The theory of topological modular forms is an intricate blend of classical algebraic modular forms and stable homotopy groups of spheres. The construction of this theory combines an algebro-geometric perspective on elliptic curves over finite fields with techniques from algebraic topology, particularly stable homotopy theory. It has applications to and connections with manifold topology, number theory, and string theory.
This book provides a careful, accessible introduction to topological modular forms. After a brief history and an extended overview of the subject, the book proper commences with an exposition of classical aspects of elliptic cohomology, including background material on ... Read more
