Description
Topology and Physics by Chen Ning Yang, Mo-Lin Ge, and Yang-Hui He is an insightful collection of contributions from world expert leaders in the field of topology and its applications to physics. This comprehensive overview explores the connections between gravity, quantum fields, condensed matter, physical cosmology, and topology, shedding light on the recent Nobel Prize-winning work on topological insulators. The book delves into various topics at the intersection of topology and physics, including Chern-Simons theory, topological quantum field theory, knot invariants, and Calabi-Yau compactification in string theory. With contributions from renowned experts, this volume provides a rich and well-organized understanding of the interplay between these two disciplines. A valuable resource for physicists and mathematics enthusiasts alike, Topology and Physics offers a unique perspective on the significance of topology in modern physics.
