Affine Lie Algebras and Quantum Groups - An Introduction, With Applications in Conformal Field Theory

Zusammenfassung This book describes the theory of semi simple and affine Lie algebras! and of quantum groups. Various applications of these theories to two-dimensional conformal field theories are presented. In particular! the link between affine Lie algebras and quantum groups arising in this context is described. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Semisimple Lie algebras; 2. Affine Lie algebras; 3. WZW theories; 4. Quantum groups; 5. Duality, fusion rules, and modular invariance; Bibliography; Index.
