Their local structure encompasses examples like associative and vertex algebras; in these examples, their global structure encompasses Hochschild homology and conformal blocks. In this first volume, the authors develop the theory of factorization algebras in depth, but with a focus upon examples exhibiting their use in field theory, such as the recovery of a vertex algebra from a chiral conformal field theory and a quantum group from Abelian Chern-Simons theory. Expositions of the relevant background in homological algebra, sheaves and functional analysis are also included, thus making this book ideal for researchers and graduates working at the interface between mathematics and physics.New mathematical monographs ;31.Quantum field theoryMathematicsFactorization (Mathematics)Factors (Algebra)Geometric quantizationNoncommutative algebrasQuantum field theoryMathematics.Factorization (Mathematics)Factors (Algebra)Geometric quantization.Noncommutative algebras.530.14/30151272Costello Kevin1977-511474Gwilliam OwenUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910158982303321Factorization algebras in quantum field theory2584034UNINA
