Problems of Modern Quantum Field Theory: Invited Lectures of the Spring School held in Alushta USSR, April 24 – May 5, 1989 (Research Reports in Physics) - Softcover
Synopsis
This volume contains the invited lectures of a school on modern quantum field theory held at Alushta, USSR, in May 1989. The development of this subject, including string theories attempting to model elementary particles, is closely interwoven with modern mathematical physics. The lectures presented by experts in the field provide an overview of the research pursued in different branches of this rapidly evolving field and draw attention to particular interconnections and problems. Topics covered include: geometrical quantization and finite size effects in conformal field theory; quasi-Hopf, Kac-Moody current and Lie super-algebras; quantum groups; Wess-Zumino-Witten models; Nizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations; non-archimedian strings; string dynamics; KdV and KP (super) equations and calculations on (super-) riemannian surfaces; 2d Ising model and 2d electron motion on surfaces in external magnetic fields.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is the compilation of invited lectures presented at the Spring School 'Problems of Modern Quantum Field Theory' held in Alushta (USSR) April 24-May 5 1989, organized by the Institute for Theoretical Physics (Kiev) and Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (Moscow). Approximately one hundred physicists and mathematicians attended lectures on aspects of mod ern quantum field theory: Conformal Field Theory, Geometrical Quantization, Quantum Groups and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov Equations, Non-Archimedian Strings, Calculations on Riemannian Surfaces. A number of experts active in research in these areas were present and they shared their ideas in both formal lectures and informal conversations. V. Drinfeld discusses the relation between quasi-Hopf algebras, conformal field theory, and knot invariants. The author sketches a new proof of Konno's theorem on the equivalence of the braid group representations corresponding to R-matrices and the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. The main ideas of quantum analogs of simple Lie superalgebras and their dual objects - algebras of functions on the quantum supergroup - are introduced in the paper by P.P. Kulish. He proposes the universal R-matrix for simplest superalgebra osp(2/1) and discusses the elements of a representation theory. In the paper by A. Alekseev and S. Shatashvili the correspondence between geometrical quantization and conformal field theory is established. It allows one to develop a Lagrange approach to two-dimensional conformal field theory. The authors also discuss the relation to finite R-matrices. 176 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9783540518334
