DESCRIPTION:One of the many merits of P. Goddard is his contribution to th
 e integration of quantum field theory in the mainstream of modern mathemat
 ics. His work led to beautiful links between geometry\, the Lie algebras o
 f infinite dimensional groups and modular partition functions\, all in CFT
 \, which to a physicist means conformal field theory. To a mainstream math
 ematician\, CFT means class field theory and concerns number fields and th
 eir Galois groups. We have become used to miracles involving moonshine\, m
 ock modular forms and all that\, but it is worth a smile that another deep
  connection seems to be epitomized by this alphabetic coincidence.
