Infinite Dimensional Groups and Manifolds

The volume is a collection of refereed research papers on infinite dimensional groups and manifolds in mathematics and quantum physics.

Topics covered are: new classes of Lie groups of mappings, the Burgers equation, the Chern—Weil construction in infinite dimensions, the hamiltonian approach to quantum field theory, and different aspects of large N limits ranging from approximation methods in quantum mechanics to modular forms and string/gauge theory duality.
