Based on the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference lectures presented by Miwa in June 1993, this book surveys recent developments in the interplay between solvable lattice models in statistical mechanics and representation theory of quantum affine algebras. Because results in this subject were scattered in the literature, this book fills the need for a systematic account, focusing attention on fundamentals without assuming prior knowledge about lattice models or representation theory. After a brief account of basic principles in statistical mechanics, the authors discuss the standard subjects concerning solvable lattice models in statistical mechanics, the main examples being the spin 1/2 XXZ chain and the six-vertex model. The book goes on to introduce the main objects of study, the corner transfer matrices and the vertex operators, and discusses some of their aspects from the viewpoint of physics. Once the physical motivations are in place, the authors return to the mathematics, covering the Frenkel-Jing bosonization of a certain module, formulas for the vertex operators using bosons, the role of representation theory, and correlation functions and form factors. The limit of the XXX model is briefly discussed, and the book closes with a discussion of other types of models and related works.

Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics, 16: Conformal Field Theory and Solvable Lattice Models contains nine papers based on the symposium "Conformal field theory and solvable lattice models" held at RIMS, Kyoto, May 1986. These papers cover the following active areas in mathematical physics: conformal field theory, solvable lattice models, affine and Virasoro algebra, and KP equations. The volume begins with an analysis of 1 and 2 point correlation functions of the Gibbs measure of random matrices. This is followed by separate chapters on solvable solid-on-solid (SOS) models; lectures on conformal field theory; the construction of Fermion variables for the 3D Ising Model; and vertex operator construction of null fields (singular vertex operators) based on the oscillator representation of conformal and superconformal algebras with central charge extention. Subsequent chapters deal with Hecke algebra representations of braid groups and classical Yang-Baxter equations; the relationship between the conformal field theories and the soliton equations (KdV, MKdV and Sine-Gordon, etc.) at both quantum and classical levels; and a supersymmetric extension of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy.

This volume contains lectures presented by Hugh L. Montgomery at the NSF-CBMS Regional Conference held at Kansas State University in May 1990. The book focuses on important topics in analytic number theory that involve ideas from harmonic analysis. One particularly valuable aspect of the book is that it collects material that was either unpublished or that had appeared only in the research literature. The book should be a useful resource for harmonic analysts interested in moving into research in analytic number theory. In addition, it is suitable as a textbook in an advanced graduate topics course in number theory.

Steady progress in recent years has been made in understanding the special mathematical features of certain exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, including the scaling limits of the 2-D Ising (lattice) model, and more generally, a class of 2-D quantum fields known as holonomic fields. New results have made it possible to obtain a detailed nonperturbative analysis of the multi-spin correlations. In particular, the book focuses on deformation analysis of the scaling functions of the Ising model, and will appeal to graduate students, mathematicians, and physicists interested in the mathematics of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory.

Algebraic Analysis: Papers Dedicated to Professor Mikio Sato on the Occasion of his 60th Birthday, Volume I is a collection of research papers on algebraic analysis and related topics in honor to Professor Mikio Sato’s 60th birthday. This volume is composed of 35 chapters and begins with papers concerning Sato’s early career in algebraic analysis. The succeeding chapters deal with research works on the existence of local holomorphic solutions, the holonomic q-difference systems, partial differential equations, and the properties of solvable models. Other chapters explore the fundamentals of hypergeometric functions, the Toda lattice in the complex domain, the Lie algebras, b-functions, p-adic integrals, analytic parameters of hyperfunctions, and some applicatioins of microlocal energy methods to analytic hypoeellipticity. This volume also presents studies on the complex powers of p-adic fields, operational calculus, extensions of microfunction sheaves up to the boundary, and the irregularity of holonomic modules. The last chapters feature research works on error analysis of quadrature formulas obtained by variable transformation and the analytic functional on the complex light cone, as well as their Fourier-Borel transformations. This book will prove useful to mathematicians and advance mathematics students.

This volume reflects the proceedings of the International Conference on Representations of Affine and Quantum Affine Algebras and Their Applications held at North Carolina State University (Raleigh). In recent years, the theory of affine and quantum affine Lie algebras has become an important area of mathematical research with numerous applications in other areas of mathematics and physics. Three areas of recent progress are the focus of this volume: affine and quantum affine algebras and their generalizations, vertex operator algebras and their representations, and applications in combinatorics and statistical mechanics. Talks given by leading international experts at the conference offered both overviews on the subjects and current research results. The book nicely presents the interplay of these topics recently occupying "centre stage" in the theory of infinite dimensional Lie theory.

The concept of ``wave packet analysis'' originates in Carleson's famous proof of almost everywhere convergence of Fourier series of $L2$ functions. It was later used by Lacey and Thiele to prove bounds on the bilinear Hilbert transform. For quite some time, Carleson's wave packet analysis was thought to be an important idea, but that it had limited applications. But in recent years, it has become clear that this is an important tool for a number of other applications. This book isan introduction to these tools. It emphasizes the classical successes (Carleson's theorem and the Hilbert transform) in the main development. However, the book closes with a dedicated chapter on more recent results. Carleson's original theorem is sometimes cited as one of the most importantdevelopments of 20th century harmonic analysis. The set of ideas stemming from his proof is now seen as an essential element in modern harmonic analysis. Indeed, Thiele won the Salem prize jointly with Michael Lacey for work in this area. The book gives a nice survey of important material, such as an overview of the theory of singular integrals and wave packet analysis itself. There is a separate chapter on ``further developments'', which gives a broader view on the subject, though it does notexhaust all ongoing developments.
