The Rogers-Ramanujan identities and Monstrous moonshine are among
the deepest results which occur at the interface of number theory and representation
theory. In these lectures the speaker will discuss these identities, and describe recent
work with Duncan, Griffin on Warnaar on their recent generalizations. This will include
a framework of Rogers-Ramanujan identities and singular moduli, and the theory of
umbral Moonshine.
