Summary:

This is the proceedings of an international conference held in Oxford in June 2002. The meeting was at the highest possible level and the articles in this book reflect this. As well as articles arising from the conference the book also contains the famous but as yet unpublished article from Graeme Segal on the Definition of Conformal Field Theories. This book is ideal as a view of the current state of the art and as such will appeal both to established researchers and graduate students who wish to begin research.
