Rough list of topics:
- Perturbative vs. non-perturbative physics and mathematics
- Building the QFT on the moduli problem: quantum mechanics, sigma models,
and gauge theory
- Moduli spaces and their compactifications
- Applications to supersymmetric theories: mirror symmetry and
Seiberg-Witten theory
- Towards new invariants of manifolds: improving on Donaldson
with the help of Sullivan
