The Unity of Mathematics: In Honor of the Ninetieth Birthday of I.M. Gelfand (Progress in Mathematics)

Tribute to the vision and legacy of Israel Moiseevich Gel'fand

Written by leading mathematicians, these invited papers reflect the unity of mathematics as a whole, with particular emphasis on the many connections among the fields of geometry, physics, and representation theory

Topics include conformal field theory, K-theory, noncommutative geometry, gauge theory, representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, and various aspects of the Langlands program
