This volume covers the proceedings of an international conference held in Oxford in June 2002. In addition to articles arising from the conference, the book also contains the famous as-yet-unpublished article by Graeme Segal on the Definition of Conformal Field Theories. It is ideal as a view of the current state of the art and will appeal to established researchers as well as to novice graduate students.

This is the proceedings of an international conference held in Oxford in June 2002. The meeting was at the highest possible level and the articles in this book reflect this. As well as articles arising from the conference the book also contains the famous but as yet unpublished article from Graeme Segal on the Definition of Conformal Field Theories. This book is ideal as a view of the current state of the art and as such will appeal both to established researchers and graduate students who wish to begin research.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The symposium held in honour of the 60th birthday of Graeme Segal brought together leading physicists and mathematicians. Its topics were centred around string theory, M-theory, and quantum gravity on the one hand, and K-theory, elliptic cohomology, quantum cohomology and string topology on the other. Geometry and quantum physics developed in parallel since the recognition of the central role of non-abelian gauge theory in elementary particle physics in the late seventies and the emerging study of super-symmetry and string theory. With its selection of survey and research articles these proceedings fulfil the dual role of reporting on recent developments in the field and defining directions for future research. For the first time Graeme Segal's manuscript 'The definition of Conformal Field Theory' is published, which has been greatly influential over more than ten years. An introduction by the author puts it into the present context. Visionary articles explaining approaches to important problems on the interface of pure mathematics and mathematical physics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780521540490
