Vertex Algebras for Beginners

Based on courses given by the author at MIT and at Rome University in spring 1997, this book presents an introduction to algebraic aspects of conformal field theory. It includes material on the foundations of a rapidly growing area of algebraic conformal theory.

Pe baza cursurilor date de autor la MIT si la Universitatea din Roma in primavara anului 1997, aceasta carte prezinta o introducere in aspectele algebrice ale teoriei campului conform. Acesta include materiale pe bazele unei zone in crestere rapida a teoriei algebrice a conformitatii.
