About this Item

The Stony Brook Conference, 'Graphs and Patterns in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics', was dedicated to Dennis Sullivan in honor of his 60th birthday. This work begins with Sullivan's paper, 'Sigma models and string topology', which describes a background algebraic structure for the sigma model based on algebraic topology and transversality.

About this title

Synopsis

Graphs provide a natural point of access for certain fields such as dynamics and quantum theory. In these proceedings from the conference of June 2001, participants describe their experience and research in developing graphs and patterns in such areas as Feynman diagrams (including in Hopf algebras and symmetries), algebraic structures (such as universal algebra, differential equations in noncommutative calculus, and twisted chiral de Rham algebras), manifolds, invariants and mirror symmetry (as in tri-level variants of three-folds, Massey products and the Johnson homomorphism), combinatorial aspects of dynamics (such as extensions, quotients and generalized pseudo-Anosov maps), and physics (such as in applications to study of black holes and the big bang).
