Elliptic Integrals, Elliptic Functions and Modular Forms in Quantum Field Theory

This book includes review articles in the field of elliptic integrals, elliptic functions and modular forms intending to foster the discussion between theoretical physicists working on higher loop calculations and mathematicians working in the field of modular forms and functions and analytic solutions of higher order differential and difference equations.

Presents up-to-date reviews on modular forms and functions and their use in particle physics Combines knowledge from mathematical physics and mathematics Written by international authors
