Edward Frenkel Book order

"Love and Math tells the two intertwined stories of mathematics and the adventure of one man in learning it. The result is a story about how he became one of the twenty-first century's leading mathematicians, working on one of the biggest ideas to come out of mathematics in the last 50 years: the Langlands Program. As Frenkel proves, a mathematical formula can be as elegant and beautiful as a painting, a poem, or a piece of music. And the process of creating new mathematics is just that, an artistic pursuit--a deeply personal experience, which requires passion, dedication, and love. In Love and Math, Frenkel shows readers the aesthetic--and the truly powerful--side of mathematics, and enables appreciation of the field even from those who have long been terrified by it."--

Focusing on the geometric Langlands Correspondence for Loop Groups, this book presents a fresh approach utilizing affine Kac-Moody algebras. It connects Number Theory, Automorphic Representations, Geometry, and Quantum Field Theory, revealing new insights into Langlands dualities and their applications in Representation Theory of Infinite-dimensional Algebras. Written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, it builds the theory from the ground up, defining concepts and proving essential results, while also presenting open problems for future research.
