Infinite products in the sense of Borcherds
have applications in many areas. They appear in the proof the moonshine
conjecture,
in physics (generalized Kac-Moody algebras, string theory), and number
theory.
The construction of Borcherds products is pretty complicated and non-linear.
In this talk we report on recent results [joint work with A. Murase].
