Know about the book -

Geometric And Topological Methods For Quantum Field Theory - Proceedings Of The Summer School is written by Alexander Cardona and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9814487678 (ISBN 10) and 9789814487672 (ISBN 13).

This volume offers an introduction to recent developments in several active topics of research at the interface between geometry, topology and quantum field theory. These include Hopf algebras underlying renormalization schemes in quantum field theory, noncommutative geometry with applications to index theory on one hand and the study of aperiodic solids on the other, geometry and topology of low dimensional manifolds with applications to topological field theory, Chern-Simons supergravity and the anti de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence. It comprises seven lectures organized around three main topics, noncommutative geometry, topological field theory, followed by supergravity and string theory, complemented by some short communications by young participants of the school.
