Review text

The author presents the text of his lectures on the origin of dualities in Quantum Field Theory and String Theories as a source of new invariants in differential topology and global differential geometry. These lectures may be treated as a basis of an education programme of great value for young mathematicians interested in differential topology and differential geometry.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0981.53001].
