Summary The relation between mathematics and physics has a long history, in which the role of number theory and of other more abstract parts of mathematics has become prominent. This book focuses on the broader interface of number theory, geometry, and physics. It is presented in three parts: Conformal Field Theories, Discrete Groups, and Renormalization
