Su questo libro

Recensione

'I can recommend it unreservedly as an introduction, but also as a review for experts.' Physikalishe Blätter

'... a very valuable book ... of interest to mathematicians and physicists working in the areas of conformal field theory, representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and vertex operator algebras.' Drazen Adomovic, Zentralblatt für Mathematik

Descrizione del libro

This book describes the theory of semi simple and affine Lie algebras, and of quantum groups. Various applications of these theories to two-dimensional conformal field theories are presented. In particular, the link between affine Lie algebras and quantum groups arising in this context is described.
