Vertex Operator Algebras and the Monster, Hardcover by Frenkel, Igor; Lepowsky, James; Meurman, Arne, ISBN 0122670655, ISBN-13 9780122670657, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US 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 th 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."
