Reviews

'This book provides a bridge between two very active and important parts of mathematics and physics, namely the theory of automorphic forms on reductive groups and string theory. The authors have masterfully presented both aspects and their connections, and have provided examples and details at all levels to make the book available to a large readership, including non-experts in both fields. This is a valuable contribution and a welcoming text for graduate students as well.'
