The underlying main theme of this conference contribution is to explain the similarities between Jacobi groups and Weyl groups. The text -- apparently paralleling a talk -- describes first reflection groups, and in particular Coxeter groups, acting on some vector space (Cartan algebras of some Lie algebras). Then Jacobi groups are introduced as certain (discrete) transformation groups related to elliptic curves. Section 4 interprets a ``Jacobi group as Weyl group of a current algebra. The role of invariant polynomials (associated with Weyl groups) is generalized to Jacobi forms, i.e. automorphic forms for Jacobi groups. Section 6 describes the construction of Jacobi forms in terms of elliptic functions, while section 7 gives applications, most notably Frobenius manifolds and quantum cohomology. The final section 8 describes the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model on the torus. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0983.00039].
