Four lectures on Number Theory and Physics
This series explores the connections between number theory and physics, designed for graduate students and researchers. Topics include Limits of Heights (Spencer Bloch), Application of Calabi-Yau Periods in Scattering Amplitudes (Albrecht Klemm), Local Zeta Functions and Black Holes in String Theory (Mohamed Elmi), and K2 of Curves and Physics (Matt Kerr). Each lecture balances mathematics/physics theory with practical applications, offering insights into how number theory shapes modern physics and vice versa.
