Description
Book SynopsisContains papers presented by speakers at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Conformal Field Theory, Topological Field Theory and Quantum Groups, held at Mount Holyoke College in June 1992. This work deals with one aspect of conformal field theory, namely, vertex operator algebras or superalgebras and their representations.
