Infos

The third edition of this monograph provides a systematic treatment of topological quantum field theories in three dimensions, inspired by the discovery of the Jones polynomial of knots, the Witten-Chern-Simons field theory, and the theory of quantum groups. The author, one of the leading experts in the subject, gives a rigorous and self-contained exposition of fundamental algebraic and topological concepts that emerged in this theory.

Rezensionen

lt;P>"Its treatment of modular categories, of modular functors, and of TQFT has stood the test of time and in many ways is still unsurpassed. [...] In the reviewer’s opinion, this book continues to be essential reading for anyone who wants to be a quantum topologist." Zentralblatt für Mathematik (review of the second edition)

"It is still the latest and greatest go-to source for information on quantum field theories in three dimensions [...]." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
