About this title

Synopsis

Vadim Knizhnik was one of the most promising theoretical physicists in the world. Unfortunately, he passed away at the very young age of 25 years. This memorial volume is to honor his contributions in Theoretical Physics. This is perhaps one of the most important collections of articles on the theoretical developments in String Theory, Conformal Field Theory and related topics. It consists of contributions from world-renowned physicists who have met Vadim Knizhnik personally and whom the late Knizhnik really respected. The contributions are systematic and pedagogical in format.

Review

"This volume contains excellent contributions and will be a useful reference for physicists and mathematicians working in areas related to the physics and mathematics of strings." Laszlo Feher Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged), 1993
