The motivations, goals and general culture of theoretical physics
and mathematics are different. Most practitioners of either
discipline have no necessity for most of the time to keep abreast
of the latest developments in the other. However on occasion newly
developed mathematical concepts become relevant in theoretical
physics and the less rigorous theoretical physics framework may
prove valuable in understanding and suggesting new theorems and
approaches in pure mathematics. Such interdis ciplinary successes
invariably cause much rejoicing, as over a prodigal son returned.
In recent years the framework provided by quantum field theory and
functional in tegrals, developed over half a century in theoretical
physics, have proved a fertile soil for developments in low
dimensional topology and especially knot theory. Given this
background it was particularly pleasing that NATO was able to
generously sup port an Advanced Research Workshop to be held in
Cambridge, England from 6th to 12th September 1992 with the title
Low Dimensional Topology and Quantum Field Theory. Although
independently organised this overlapped as far as some speak ers
were concerned with a longer term programme with the same title
organised by Professor M Green, Professor E Corrigan and Dr R
Lickorish. The contents of this proceedings of the workshop
demonstrate the breadth of topics now of interest on the interface
between theoretical physics and mathematics as well as the
sophistication of the mathematical tools required in current
theoretical physics."
