Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-662-14032-1 (ISBN)
The contributions of this volume, by distinguished physicists and mathematicians, cover topics such as strings, conformal field theories, W and Virasoro algebras, topological field theory, quantum groups, vertex and Hopf algebras, and non-commutative geometry. Written in a pedagogical style, it is suitable for students and scientists.
