Informationen zum Autor Hernán Ocampo is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University del Valle, Colombia. Eddy Pariguán is an Associate Professor in Mathematics at the University La Javeriana, Colombia. Sylvie Paycha is a Professor of Mathematics at the University Blaise Pascal, France. Klappentext An introduction to recent developments in several active topics at the interface between algebra, geometry, topology and quantum field theory. Zusammenfassung Aimed at graduate students in physics and mathematics! this book provides an introduction to recent developments in several active topics! including geometric topology! quantum cohomology and noncommutative geometry. It also explores a wide spectrum of topics on the borderline of mathematics and physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; 1. The impact of QFT on low-dimensional topology Paul Kirk; 2.
