✦ Synopsis

The remarkable developments in diferential topology and how these recent advances have been applied as a primary research tool on quantum field theory are presented in a style reflecting the genuinely two-sided interaction between mathematical physics and applied mathematics. The author, following on from his previous work (Nash/Sen: Differential Topology for Physicists, Academic Press, 1983), covers ellipitc differential and pseudo-differential operators, Atiyah-singer Index theory, Morse theory, instanntons and monopoles, topological quantum field theory, string theory and knot theory. The explanatory approach serves to illuminate and clarify these theories for graduate students and research workers entering the field for the first time.

In recent years topology has firmly established itself as an important part of the physicist's mathematical arsenal. It has many applications, first of all in quantum field theory, but increasingly also in other areas of physics. The main focus of this book is on the results of quantum field theory

In recent years there has been a remarkable renaissance in the relation between Geometry and Physics. This relation involves the most advanced and sophisticated ideas on each side and appears to be extremely deep. The traditional links between the two subjects, as embodied for example in Einstein's
