这卷包含基于在过去几年里在克莱数学研究所事件的杰出数学家所发表的演讲的论文的集合。它打算成为CMI讲座系列丛书中的第一册。虽然没有明确的联系，在这首卷的主题有一个共同的味道和共同的吸引力，对所有感兴趣的最近的几何发展。他们的目的是让所有在这个一般领域工作的人，无论他们自己的特殊研究兴趣。

This volume contains a collection of papers based on lectures delivered by distinguished mathematicians at Clay Mathematics Institute events over the past few years. It is intended to be the first in an occasional series of volumes of CMI lectures. Although not explicitly linked, the topics in this inaugural volume have a common flavour and a common appeal to all who are interested in recent developments in geometry. They are intended to be accessible to all who work in this general area, regardless of their own particular research interests.

爱德华·威滕·威腾是犹太裔美国物理学家、数学家，菲尔兹奖得主，普林斯顿高等研究院教授。他是弦理论和量子场论的顶尖专家，被美国《生活》周刊评为二次大战后第六位最有影响的人物，当代物理学家中H指数最高的一位。威滕具有深刻的物理直觉和高超的数学能力。他专长量子场论，弦理论和相关的拓扑和几何。他的主要贡献包括广义相对论的正能定理证明，超对称和莫尔斯理论，拓扑量子场论，超弦紧化，镜像对称，超对称规范场论，和对M理论存在性的猜想。

Edward Witten is one of the leading figures in contemporary theoretical physics. He has made ground-breaking contributions to Physics and Mathematics. He has been given numerous awards, including the Fields Medal in 2004 and the Fundamental Physics Prize in 2012. He is a Foreign Member of the Royal Society and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Currently he works at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

马丁·布里特森是牛津大学的怀特海德数学教授，以他在几何群理论方面的工作而闻名。2006年，他受邀在国际会议上发表演讲，并于2014年成为美国数学学会(American Mathematical Society)会员。
