Full Description

This advanced level textbook aims to teach the student to apply techniques of algebraic topology to problems in solid state physics and quantum physics, particularly non-linear sigma models, anyons, Berry's phase and the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Contents

Braid Groups and Anyons..- Topics in Chern-Simons Physics..- A Short Introduction to: Connections on (1) Bundles and Berry's Phase..- Electrons in A Magnetic Field, and A Cursory Look at the Quantum Hall Effect..
