Description
Book SynopsisContains the proceedings of the Moonshine workshop held at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (CRM) in Montreal. This work presents the various classical Moonshine themes, namely the Monster simple group and other finite groups, automorphic functions and forms and related congruence groups, and vertex algebras and their representations.
