Current algebras on Riemann surfaces : new results and applications / Oleg K. Sheinman.

This book is an introduction into a new and fast developing field on the crossroads of infinite-dimensional Lie algebra theory, conformal field theory, and the theory of integrable systems. For beginners, it provides a short way to join in the investigations in these fields. For experts, it sums up...
