Gravity, strings, modular and quasimodular forms
Modular and quasimodular forms have played an important role in gravity and string theory. Eisenstein series have appeared systematically in the determination of spectrums and partition functions, in the description of non-perturbative effects, in higher-order corrections of scalar-field spaces, ...The latter often appear as gravitational instantons as special solutions of Einstein’s equations. In the present lecture notes we present a class of such solutions in four dimensions, obtained by requiring...
