Title: Chern-Simons theory, matrix models, and topological strings
Description: After an introduction to matrix models and Cherns-Simons gauge theory, this book describes in detail the topological string theories that correspond to these gauge theories and develops the mathematical implication of this duality for the enumerative geometry of Calabi-Yau manifolds and knot theory.
Subjects: Gauge fields (Physics), String models, Three-manifolds (Topology)
