Lie Algebras, Vertex Operator Algebras, and Related Topics.

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Lie Algebras, Vertex Operator Algebras, and Related Topics, celebrating the 70th birthday of James Lepowsky and Robert Wilson, held from August 14-18, 2015, at the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana. Since their seminal work in the...
