TOPOLOGICAL METHODS FOR QUANTUM FIELD THEORY 
 Villa de Leyva, July 2001   Aim of the school
  This school is the second of a series of summer schools to
  take place in Colombia  - the first
  one took place in July 1999 -  on topics on the border line between Geometry,
  Topology and Quantum Field Theory. The courses are addressed both to 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 in mathematics and quantum field
  theory.  Organizing committeeCoordinators
