In the last decade there has been an extraordinary confluence of
ideas in mathematics and theoretical physics brought about by
pioneering discoveries in geometry and analysis. The various
chapters in this volume, treating the interface of geometric
analysis and mathematical physics, represent current research
interests. No suitable succinct account of the material is
available elsewhere. Key topics include: * A self-contained
derivation of the partition function of Chern- Simons gauge theory
in the semiclassical approximation (D.H. Adams) * Algebraic and
geometric aspects of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations in
conformal field theory (P. Bouwknegt) * Application of the
representation theory of loop groups to simple models in quantum
field theory and to certain integrable systems (A.L. Carey and E.
Langmann) * A study of variational methods in Hermitian geometry
from the viewpoint of the critical points of action functionals
together with physical backgrounds (A. Harris) * A review of
monopoles in nonabelian gauge theories (M.K. Murray) * Exciting
developments in quantum cohomology (Y. Ruan) * The physics origin
of Seiberg-Witten equations in 4-manifold theory (S. Wu) Graduate
students, mathematicians and mathematical physicists in the
above-mentioned areas will benefit from the user-friendly
introductory style of each chapter as well as the comprehensive
bibliographies provided for each topic. Prerequisite knowledge is
minimal since sufficient background material motivates each
chapter.
