Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields - Proceedings of the 2000 Londrina Workshop (Electronic book text)

A collection of papers from the Londrina Workshop on Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields, held in Brazil in April 2000. The following topics are addressed: non-Abelian Toda models; remarks for physicists on equivariant cohomology and the Duistermaat-Heckman formula; Casimir effect; quantum groups and their application to nuclear physics; quantum field theory; quantum gravity and the theory of extended objects; and black hole physics and cosmology.
