Topics covered are: new classes of Lie groups of mappings, the Burgers equation, the Chern--Weil construction in infinite dimensions, the Hamiltonian approach to quantum field theory, and different aspects of large N limits ranging from approximation methods in quantum mechanics to modular forms and string/gauge theory duality. Directed at research mathematicians and theoretical physicists as well as graduate students, the volume gives an overview of important themes of research at the forefront of mathematics and theoretical physics.IRMA lectures in mathematics and theoretical physics ;5.Infinite-dimensional manifoldsInfinite dimensional Lie algebrasDifferential equations, PartialQuantum field theoryElectronic books.Infinite-dimensional manifolds.Infinite dimensional Lie algebras.Differential equations, Partial.Quantum field theory.512/.55SK 350rvkWurzbacher Tilman1961-1046041MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451663803321Infinite dimensional groups and manifolds2472704UNINA
