title: Quantum Fields and Strings: A Course for Mathematicians (Volume 2)
author: Pierre Deligne
description: "An immense amount of valuable material on recent developments. The development of classical supersymmetry by Deligne and collaborators is careful and systematic ... masterful treatment ... the book is a magnificent achievement." ---- SIAM Review<br /><br />"A concise introduction to the quantum field theory and perturbative string theory, with as much emphasis on a mathematically satisfying exposition and clarity as possible ... will be helpful to all mathematicians and mathematical physicists who wish to learn about the beautiful subject of quantum field theory." -- European Mathematical Society Newsletter ---- European Mathematical Society Newsletter

  ABSTRACT. These two volumes are the written record of the 1996-1997 Special Year in Quantum 
  Field Theory held at the Institute for Advanced Study. The goal of that program was to introduce 
  mathematicians to the basic intuitions and modern developments in quantum field theory and 
  string theory. Includ
