This book is concerned with classical and quantum affine algebras and their relation with the classical and quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations. After a quick overview of the contents of the book in Lecture 1, Lecture 2 recalls the basics of the representation theory of finite-dimensional semisimple and affine Lie algebras. Lecture 3 introduces a class of intertwining operators for tensor products of highest weight and evaluation representations of affine Lie algebras. The basic properties of the solutions of the KZ equations are discussed, including the fact that the correlation functions of the intertwiners are solutions. Lecture 4 derives explicit integral formulas for the solutions of the KZ equations. In Lecture 5, it is shown that, in the case of affine \(sl_2\), the solutions of KZ have a factorization property; this leads to free field realizations. Lecture 6 reviews the basic facts about quantum groups and their representations, and their interpretation in terms of braided categories. The braid relations are presented in the form of exchange matrices on the spaces of intertwining operators of the quantum group. Lecture 7 studies the geometry of the integration cycles appearing in the formulas for the explicit solutions of KZ. In the affine \(sl_2\) case, the space of solutions of KZ is realized in terms of the homology groups of certain families of local systems, and then the equations themselves are identified with the Gauss-Manin connection on the space parametrizing these families. Lecture 8 begins by explaining the relation between the monodromy of the KZ equations and the braid group. The monodromy with respect to an infinite base point is defined, and it is shown that it admits a factorization which again yields the braid relations in the form of factored exchange matrices. Comparison of these matrices with those obtained in Lecture 6 leads to the equivalence of two braided tensor categories. In Lecture 9, the authors turn to quantum affine algebras, describing their representations and \(R\)-matrices and the intertwining operators that are the quantum analogue of those considered in Lecture 3. The quantum KZ equations are introduced in Lecture 10. Their solutions are studied, and quantum analogues of the results of Lecture 3 are obtained. Lecture 11 concentrates on the case of quantum affine \(sl_2\), and expresses the solutions of quantum KZ in terms of \(q\)-hypergeometric functions and their generalizations. Lecture 12 introduces the correct quantum analogue of the monodromy of classical KZ, namely the connection matrix. This matrix is computed in the simplest case, using properties of \(q\)-hypergeometric functions. Properties of these matrices in general are also studied, including the quantum analogue of the braid relations for the exchange matrices. The book concludes in Lecture 13 with some open problems.
