| Dec 17, 2012 at 23:13 | comment | added | cubetwo1729 | If you are interested in analytic number theory, look at the paper Eisenstein series for higher-rank groups and string theory amplitudes by Michael Green (one of the founders of string theory), Stephen Miller (a number theorist), Jorge Russo (a physicist), and Pierre Vanhove (a physicist). | |
| Dec 2, 2012 at 7:19 | comment | added | TreyK | As if the Riemann Zeta function wasn't already cool enough, it has plenty of applications to physics. The temperature at which matter changes phase to be a Bose-Einstein condensate uses $\zeta(3/2)$ in its calculation. Also, this may be of interest: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function#Specific_values | |

| Nov 9, 2010 at 13:35 | comment | added | M.C. | Good question, I was wondering the same when I was writing a question or answer recently. I had to take number theory out because I realized I did not know of any obvious connections to physics. | |
