Quantum Groups: From Coalgebras to Drinfeld Algebras

Description

The theory of quantum groups is an exciting field of active research in which pure mathematics and mathematical physics interact. This book is based on lectures at the Ne'eman-Sternberg seminar in theoretical physics at the Sackler Institute for Advanced Studies at Tel-Aviv University. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, including topology and statistical mechanics. Detailed proofs of the main results, some of which appear here for the first time, are presented in the text. In addition, this volume offers an extensive, up-to-date bibliography containing more than 1260 references.
