Loop groups and related constructions, group-theoretic treatment (22E67) Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)
The present article is an exposition of a lecture given by the author at the meeting celebrating Roger Penrose's birthday. It is a brief survey of ideas in quantum field theory coming from loop groups and low-dimensional topology. For more details the reader is referred to Stanford Lectures on Topological Field Theory (which will be published by Cambridge University Press). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0890.00046].
