Description for Quantum Fields and Strings
Paperback. Ideas from quantum field theory and string theory have had considerable impact on mathematics. In 1996-97 the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton, NJ) organized a special year-long program designed to teach mathematicians the basic physical ideas which underlie the mathematical applications. These volumes are a written record of the program. Editor(s): Deligne, Pierre; Etingof, Pavel I.; Freed, Daniel S.; Jeffrey, Lisa C.; Kazhdan, D.

Ideas from quantum field theory and string theory have had considerable impact on mathematics over the past 20 years. Advances in many different areas have been inspired by insights from physics. In 1996-97 the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton, NJ) organized a special year-long program designed to teach mathematicians the basic physical ideas which underlie the mathematical applications. The purpose is eloquently stated in a letter written by Robert MacPherson: 'The goal is to create and convey an understanding, in terms congenial to mathematicians, of some fundamental notions of physics...[and to] develop the sort of intuition common among physicists for ...
