Summary:

Conformal Field Theory consists of pedagogical lectures delivered at the Feza Gursey Institute, Istanbul, in the summer of 1998 on the following topics: "Non-perturbative dynamics of 4-dimensional Field theories" (P. Argyres, Cornell University), "2-Dimensional QCD, Grassmanians and M(atrix) Models" (S. Rajeev, University of Rochester), "Affine Kac-Moody algebras and CFT" (M. Walton, Lethbridge), "CFT and Vertex Operator algebras" (T. Gannon, York), and "Meromorphic CFT" (M. Gaberdiel, Cambridge). The book is suitable for advanced graduate students and researchers in theoretical particle or statistical physics as well as pure mathematicians.

Notes:

Lectures from the 1998 Summer Research Semester on Conformal Field Theories, Matrix Models, and Dualities held at Boğaziçi University-TÜBITAK Feza Gürsey Institute in Istanbul.
