Lectures on modular forms and strings
read the original abstract
The goal of these lectures is to present an informal but precise introduction to a body of concepts and methods of interest in number theory and string theory revolving around modular forms and their generalizations. Modular invariance lies at the heart of conformal field theory, string perturbation theory, Montonen-Olive duality, Seiberg-Witten theory, and S-duality in Type IIB superstring theory. Automorphic forms with respect to higher arithmetic groups as well as mock modular forms enter in toroidal string compactifications and the counting of black hole microstates. After introducing the basic mathematical concepts including elliptic functions, modular forms, Maass forms, modular forms for congruence subgroups, vector-valued modular forms, and modular graph forms, we describe a small subset of the countless applications to problems in Mathematics and Physics, including those mentioned above.

Nematic Wigner crystals in rhombohedral multilayer graphene
Projected Hartree–Fock and time-dependent Hartree–Fock calculations predict a spontaneously C3-breaking (nematic) Wigner crystal that is locally stable in a region of the rhombohedral tetralayer graphene phase diagram.

Beyond Hagedorn: A Harmonic Approach to $T\bar{T}$-deformation
TTbar-deformed CFT torus partition functions are expressed via spectral decomposition into Maass forms that deform simply, enabling analytic continuation beyond the Hagedorn singularity.
