Modular forms and Jacobi forms play a central
role in many areas of mathematics. Over the last 10–15 years, this
theory has been extended to certain non-holomorphic functions, the
so-called “harmonic Maass forms”. The first glimpses of this theory
appeared in Ramanujan's enigmatic last letter to G. H. Hardy written
from his deathbed. Ramanujan discovered functions he called “mock
theta functions” which over eighty years later were recognized as
pieces of harmonic Maass forms. This book contains the essential
features of the theory of harmonic Maass forms and mock modular forms,
together with a wide variety of applications to algebraic number
theory, combinatorics, elliptic curves, mathematical physics, quantum
modular forms, and representation theory.
Readership
Graduate students and researchers interested in modular forms and their use in number theory.
Reviews & Endorsements
This wonderful book is very exciting to me as it presents some very exotic and beautiful stuff that I, for one, had no notion of...I'm happy to be enlightened, if only in a preliminary way. But this book is tailor-made to lead wayward sons like me back home and to light the right kind of fire under us...Excellent.
