Why don't you pick up a copy of Polchinski and find out?

I only know that it is used in String theory. What are the other areas? I wanna know and see things actually works out when this comes into play.

I think that this whole manipulation of different series is a nice way to avoid dealing with infinity.

If you look at their "proof", they make a very risky assumption with their first series. They take the average of an inifite series and claim that it must be equal to 1/2 but not that it IS equal to 1/2.

The foundation of the proof is shaky so the derivations from that foundations should be taken with a grain of salt.

just look at all millennium problems;D Try to solve Riemann and bring a new era to cryptology

I really consider filtering "-1/12"
