Presentation
This school is the second of a series of summer schools to take place in Colombia (the last one took place in July 1999) on topics on the boarder line between geometry, topology and quantum field theory. The courses are addressed to both physicists and mathematicians with a masters level in either of the fields. The lectures will therefore serve as an introduction to some active areas of research around the following topics.
