Affine Lie Algebras and Quantum Groups: An Introduction, with Applications in Conformal Field Theory - Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
Fuchs, Jurgen A. (Conseil Europeen de Recherches Nucleaires, Geneva)
This book describes the theory of semi simple and affine Lie algebras, and of quantum groups. Various applications of these theories to two-dimensional conformal field theories are presented. In particular, the link between affine Lie algebras and quantum groups arising in this context is described.
