Description
What is quantum geometry? This question is becoming a popular leitmotiv in theoretical physics and in mathematics. Conformal field theory may catch a glimpse of the right answer. We review global aspects of the geometry of conformal fields, such as duality and mirror symmetry, and interpret them within Connes' non-commutative geometry. Extended version of lectures given by the 2nd author at the Mathematical Quantum Theory Conference, Vancouver, Canada, August 4 to 8, 1993
