Modular forms of slow growth admit a decomposition in terms of the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator in the Upper Half Plane. Whilst this technology has been used for many years in the context of Number Theory, it has only recently been used to further understand the partition function and the spectrum of Conformal Field Theories in 2d. In this talk, we’ll review the technology and how it has been applied to CFTs by several authors, as well as present a few new results.
