The Geometry, Topology And Physics Of Moduli Spaces Of Higgs Bundles

Know about the book -

The Geometry, Topology And Physics Of Moduli Spaces Of Higgs Bundles is written by Richard Wentworth and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9813229101 (ISBN 10) and 9789813229105 (ISBN 13).

In the 25 years since their introduction, Higgs bundles have seen a surprising number of interactions within different areas of mathematics and physics. There is a recent surge of interest following Ngô Bau Châu's proof of the Fundamental Lemma and the work of Kapustin and Witten on the Geometric Langlands program. The program on The Geometry, Topology and Physics of Moduli Spaces of Higgs Bundles, was held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of Singapore during 2014. It hosted a number of lectures on recent topics of importance related to Higgs bundles, and it is the purpose of this volume to collect these lectures in a form accessible to graduate students and young researchers interested in learning more about this field.
