Bücher von Yavuz Nutku

This book provides an understanding of conformal field theory and its importance to both statistical mechanics and string theory. It introduces the Wess-Zumino-Novokov-Witten (WZNW) models and their current algebras, the affine Kac-Moody algebras.

This volume of lectures exemplifies some of the non-perturbative approaches that exist beyond the reach of perturbation theory in modern quantum field theory, studied today by physicists and mathematicians alike.
