چکیده
What is quantum geometry? This question is becoming a popular leitmotiv in theoretical physics and in mathematics. Conformal field theory may catch a glimpse of the right answer. We review global aspects of the geometry of conformal fields, such as duality and mirror symmetry, and interpret them within Connes’ non-commutative geometry.

The κ-deformation of the D-dimensional Poincaré algebra (D ≥ 2) with any signature is given. Further the quadratic Poisson brackets, determined by the classical r-matrix are calculated, and the quantum Poincaré group " with noncommuting parameters " is obtained.

We present a theta function representation of the twisted characters for the rational N=2 superconformal field theory, and discuss the Jacobi-form like functional properties of these characters for a fixed central charge under the action of a finite Heisenberg group and modular transformations.

M/string theory on noncompact, negatively curved, cosets which generalize AdSD+1 = SO(D, 2)/SO(D, 1) is considered. Holographic descriptions in terms of a conformal field theory on the boundary of the spacetime are proposed. Examples include SU(2, 1)/U(2), which is a Euclidean signature (4, 0) space with no supersymmetry, and SO(2, 2)/SO(2) and SO(3, 2)/SO(3), which are Lorentzian signature (4,...

We review our calculation of theWeyl anomaly for d-dimensional conformal field theories that have a description in terms of a (d+ 1)-dimensional gravity theory.

A geometric interpretation of quantum self–interacting string field theory is given. Relations between various approaches to the second quantization of an interacting string are described in terms of the geometric quantization. An algorythm to construct a quantum nonperturbative interacting string field theory in the quantum group formalism is proposed. Problems of a metric background (in)depen...
