    Mathematical Surveys and Monographs
    Volume: 581998; 198 pp
    MSC: Primary 81; Secondary 17

    This book is devoted to mathematical structures arising in conformal field theory and the \(q\)-deformations. The authors give a self-contained exposition of the theory of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations and related topics. No previous knowledge of physics is required. The text is suitable for a one-semester graduate course.

    Readership
