“There are five fundamental operations in mathematics,” the German mathematician Martin Eichler supposedly said. “Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and modular forms.” Part of the joke, ...

Modular forms provide a powerful mathematical framework for understanding symmetry in two-dimensional quantum field theories. In conformal field theory (CFT), these holomorphic functions obey ...

Using “refreshingly old” tools, mathematicians resolved a 50-year-old conjecture about how to categorize important functions called modular forms, with consequences for number theory and theoretical ...

In my previous post, “five common myths about prefabricated modular data centers,” I highlighted their increasing adoption by organizations in data-intensive industries such as healthcare and ...
