Loop groups are the simplest class of infinite dimensional Lie groups, and have important applications in elementary particle physics. They have recently been studied intensively, and the theory is now well developed, involving ideas from several areas of mathematics - algebra, geometry, analysis, and combinatorics. The mathematics of quantum field theory is an important ingredient. This book gives a complete and self-contained account of what is known about the subject and it is written from a geometrical and analytical point of view, with quantum field theory very much in mind. The mathematics used in connection with loop groups is interesting and important beyond its immediate applications and the authors have tried to make the book accessible to mathematicians in many fields.
The hardback edition was published in December 1986.

Paperback. Condition: Acceptable to Good. 318 pp. Tightly bound. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. PLEASE NOTE: The reason for the lower "acceptable to good" rating is because the spine is creased. This copy is smyth sewn.

Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block.

Seller: Bulrushed Books, Moscow, ID, U.S.A.
Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Seller Inventory # #111D-00167
