This book recounts the connections between multidimensional
hypergeometric functions and representation theory. In 1984,
physicists Knizhnik and Zamolodchikov discovered a fundamental
differential equation describing correlation functions in the
conformal field theory. The equation is defined in terms of Lie
algebra. Kohno and Drinfeld found that the monodromy of the
differential equation is described in terms of the quantum group
associated with Lie algebra. It turns out that this phenomenon is
the tip of the iceberg. The Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov differential
equation is solved in multidimensional hypergeometric functions,
and the hypergeometric functions yield the connection between the
representation theories of Lie algebras and quantum groups. The
topics presented in this book are not adequately covered in
periodicals.
