Chern-Simons Gauge Theory: 20 Years After
Andersen, Jorgen E. / Boden, Hans U. / Hahn, Atle / Himpel, Benjamin
In 1989, Edward Witten discovered a deep relationship between quantum field theory and knot theory, and this beautiful discovery created a new field of research called Chern-Simons theory. The 20-year anniversary of Witten's discovery provided an opportunity to bring together researchers working in Chern-Simons theory for a meeting, and the resulting conference included many of the leading experts in the field. This volume presents several ori...
