{"product_id":"vertex-operator-algebras-and-the-igor-frenkel-9780122670657","title":"Vertex Operator Algebras and the Monster","description":"This work is motivated by and develops connections between several branches of mathematics and physics--the theories of Lie algebras, finite groups and modular functions in mathematics, and string theory in physics. The first part of the book presents a new mathematical theory of vertex operator algebras, the algebraic counterpart of two-dimensional holomorphic conformal quantum field theory. The remaining part constructs the Monster finite simple group as the automorphism group of a very special vertex operator algebra, called the \"moonshine module\" because of its relevance to \"monstrous moonshine.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Igor Frenkel, James Lepowsky, Arne Meurman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0122670655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780122670657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.25d","brand":"Igor Frenkel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056622235903,"sku":"9780122670657","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea253219-2be2-4030-92db-79a3a502cc54.jpg?v=1685042335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vertex-operator-algebras-and-the-igor-frenkel-9780122670657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
