This volumes provides a comprehensive review of interactions between
differential geometry and theoretical physics, contributed by many leading
scholars in these fields. The contributions promise to play an important role in
promoting the developments in these exciting areas. Besides the plenary talks,
the coverage includes: models and related topics in statistical physics; quantum
fields, strings and M-theory; Yang-Mills fields, knot theory and related topics;
K-theory, including index theory and non-commutative geometry; mirror symmetry,
conformal and topological quantum field theory; development of integrable
systems; and random matrix theory.
