Product Review
'This is a most remarkable book, and it certainly gives a hand to many mathematician, researchers as well as graduate students. On less than 850 pages, the author present vital information about 124 subjects in 15 chapters, in a manner accessible to any broadly trained analyst..As a collection of broad and relevant information the book bears some similarity to the famous volumes of Dunford and Scwarz' Zentralblatt Mathematik
'This monumental book presents some of the most exciting developments of the past 15 years within operator algebra theory and its interaction with mathematical physics and algebraic topologyIn the preface the authors state:this is aimed at graduate students and researchers in operator algebras, and statistical mechanics, algebraic, topolgical and conformal field theory and low dimensional topological invarieants. All ot these will find a rich source of study and references in this extensively annotated and documented volume, and not least a wide range of new perspectives on their own subject.'

Product Description
In the last 20 years, the study of operator algebras has developed from a branch of functional analysis to a central field of mathematics with applications in both pure mathematics and mathematical physics. The theory was initiated by von Neumann and Murray as a tool for studying group representations and as a framework for quantum mechanics, and has since kept in touch with its roots in physics as a framework for quantum statistical mechanics and the formalism of algebraic quantum field theory. However, in 1981, the study of operator algebras took a new turn with the introduction by Vaughn Jones of subfactor theory, leading to remarkable connections with knot theory, 3-manifolds, quantum groups, and integrable systems in statistical mechanics and conformal field theory. This book, one of the first in the area, looks at these combinatorial-algebraic developments from the perspective of operator algebras. With minimal prerequisites from classical theory, it brings the reader to the forefront of research.
