Some Musings on Theta, Eta, and Zeta: From E8 to Cold Plasma to an lnhomogeneous Universe

This book continues the applications of mathematics, more specifically of theta, eta, and zeta functions, and modular forms, to various areas of theoretical physics. It is a follow-up and extension in some sense of the author’s earlier book entitled A window into zeta and modular physics. Some of the main topics are

1. A new approach to logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy

2. My recent work that provides for an explicit cold plasma-black hole connection

3. Generalization of work of ph...
