Differential Geometric Methods in Theoretical Physics: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference, Held in Rapallo, Italy, 19-24 June 1990

by Claudio Bartocci (Editor)

Geometry, if understood properly, is still the closest link between mathematics and theoretical physics, even for quantum concepts. In this collection of outstanding survey articles the concept of non-commutation geometry and the idea of quantum groups are discussed from various points of view. Furthermore the reader will find contributions to conformal field theory and to superalgebras and supermanifolds. The book addresses both physicists and mathematicians.
