introduction
- Is it useful?
- Why is it important?
- Kac http://www.ams.org/publications/online-books/hmbrowder-hmbrowder-kac.pdf

path integral in string theory
- path integral and moduli space of Riemann surfaces \[Z=\sum_{g=0}^{\infty} g_{s}^{-\chi(\Sigma_{g})}Z_{g}=\sum_{g=0}^{\infty} g_{s}^{2g-2}Z_{g}=\frac{1}{g_{s}^2}Z_{0}+g_{s}^{0}Z_{1}+g_{s}^2Z_{2}+\cdots\]
- \(Z_{1}\) is an integral over \(M_1 = \mathbb{H}/SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\) i.e. the fundamental domain.
- string theory (symmetries, modular group) has a natural covariant UV cutoff!
