Discrete gauge theory : from lattices to TQFT /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

This book provides an introduction to topological quantum field theory as well as discrete gauge theory with quantum groups. In contrast to much of the existing literature, the present approach is at the same time intuitive and mathematically rigorous, making extensive use of suitable diagrammatic m...
