Yang Baxter Equations Conformal Invariance And Integrability In Statistical Mechanics And Field Theory Proceedings Of A Conference

Yang-baxter Equations, Conformal Invariance And Integrability In Statistical Mechanics And Field Theory - Proceedings Of A Conference

Statistical Models, Yang-baxter Equation And Related Topics - Proceedings Of The Satellite Meeting Of Statphys–19; Symmetry, Statistical Mechanical Models And Applications - Proceedings Of The Seventh Nankai Workshop

This book contains the proceedings of two international conferences: a satellite meeting of the IUPAP Statphys-19 Conference and the Seventh Nankai Workshop, held in Tianjin, China in August 1995. The central theme of the two conferences, which drew participants from 18 countries, was the Yang-Baxter equation and its development and applications. With topics ranging from quantum groups, vertex and spin models, to applications in condensed matter physics, this book reflects the current research interest of integrable systems in statistical mechanics.

Lectures on Representation Theory and Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov Equations

This text is devoted to mathematical structures arising in conformal field theory and the q-deformations. The authors give a self-contained exposition of the theory of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and related topics. No previous knowledge of physics is required. The text is suitable for a one-semester graduate course and is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in mathematical physics.
