An analysis of exactly soluble models in nonlinear classical systems and quantum systems, as well as recent studies in conformal quantum field theory, have revealed the structure of quantum groups to be an interesting framework for mathematical and physical problems. In this book, contributors review the various competing approaches: inverse scattering methods, two-dimensional statistical models, Yang-Baxter algebras, the Bethe ansatz, conformal quantum field theory, representations, Braid group statistics, non-commutative geometry and harmonic analysis.
