Description

This proceedings reports on some of the most recent advances on the interaction between Differential Geometry and Theoretical Physics, a very active and exciting area of contemporary research.The papers are grouped into the following four broad categories: Geometric Methods, Noncommutative Geometry, Quantum Gravity and Topological Quantum Field Theory. A few of the topics covered are Chern-Simons Theory and Generalizations, Knot Invariants, Models of 2D Gravity, Quantum Groups and Strings on Black Holes.
