Elliptic curves and modular forms in algebraic topology : proceedings of a conference held at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, Sept. 15-17, 1986 /

A small conference was held in September 1986 to discuss new applications of elliptic functions and modular forms in algebraic topology, which had led to the introduction of elliptic genera and elliptic cohomology. The resulting papers range, fom these topics through to quantum field theory, with co...
