Quantum Groups Proceedings of Workshops held in the Euler International Mathematical Institute, Leningrad, Fall 1990

The theory of Quantum Groups is a rapidly developing area with numerous applications in mathematics and theoretical physics, e.g. in link and knot invariants in topology, q-special functions, conformal field theory, quantum integrable models. The aim of the Euler Institute's workshops was to re...
