Lecture Notes On Chern-simons-witten Theory

This invaluable monograph has arisen in part from E Witten''s lectures on topological quantum field theory in the spring of 1989 at Princeton University. At that time Witten unified several important mathematical works in terms of quantum field theory, most notably the Donaldson polynomial, the Gromov-Floer homology and the Jones polynomials.In his lectures, among other things, Witten explained hi...
