Contents:
Preface -- Table of Contents -- Lie groups of germs of analytic mappings -- The flow completion of the Burgers equation -- Enumerative geometry and knot invariants -- Gerbes, (twisted) K-theory, and the supersymmetricWZW model -- Current groups for non-compact manifolds and their central extensions -- Traces and characteristic classes on loop spaces -- New classical limits of quantum theories.
Abstract:
The volume is a collection of refereed research papers on infinite dimensional groups and manifolds in mathematics and quantum physics. Topics covered are: new classes of Lie groups of mappings, the Burgers equation, the Chern-Weil construction in infinite dimensions, the hamiltonian approach to quantum field theory, and different aspects of large N limits ranging from approximation methods in quantum mechanics to modular forms and string/gauge theory duality. The volume gives an overview of important themes of research at the forefront of mathematics and theoretical physics.
