After several decades of reduced contact, the interaction between physicists and mathematicians in the front-line research of both fields recently became deep and fruit- ful again. Many of the leading specialists of both fields became involved in this devel- opment. This process even led to the discovery of previously unsuspected connections between various subfields of physics and mathematics. In mathematics this concerns in particular knots von Neumann algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, integrable non-linear partial differential equations, and differential geometry in low dimensions, most im-...
