Some Musings on Theta, Eta, and Zeta From E8 to Cold Plasma to an lnhomogeneous Universe /

This book continues the applications of mathematics, more specifically of theta, eta, and zeta functions, and modular forms, to various areas of theoretical physics. It is a follow-up and extension in some sense of the author’s earlier book entitled A window into zeta and modular physics. Some of th...
