9781461267218 | Reprint edition (Birkhauser, October 6, 2012), cover price $139.00 | About this edition: The rapidly-evolving theory of vertex operator algebras provides deep insight into many important algebraic structures.
Product Description: "One of the great legacies of the classification of the finite simple groups is the existence of the Monster $\ldots$ Work of Borcherds and Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman led to the notion of a vertex (operator) algebra, which was seen to be the same as the chiral algebras used by physicists in conformal field theory$\ldots$ The connections with physics have proven to be invaluable, and it seems likely that another branch of mathematics whose origins are eerily similar to those of moonshine---that is, elliptic cohomology---will turn out to be very relevant too...read more
