✦ Synopsis
Book reviews 429 in the 1980s. Starting from basic principles, the later work deals with important classes of buildings, namely the spherical and affine type. WFA) P. Dita and V. Georgescu (eds.), Conformal Invariance and String Theory. Academic Press, Boston, 1989. 557 pp., US $59.95, ISBN 0-12-218100-X. This collection of 16 papers represents the lectures delivered at the Summer School of the title held in Romania in 1987. The papers review some of the important problems in these two strongly interrelated areas of theoretical physics. Relations between the two domains are emphasized. The first part contains 7 papers on Conformal Invariance in Statistical Mechanics and the second part has 9 papers on String Theory and related topics. WFA) M.
