PREFACE The V Jorge André Swieca Summer School was held at Campos do Jordão, a small village near São Paulo, from January 8 to 21, 1989. This event provided a series of lectures and seminars delivered by invited speakers. These Proceedings contains the lectures notes of the topics covered during the school. The first part of the book collects the material devoted to quantum field the- ory. There were four courses on methods in Field Theory: H. 0. Girotti lectured on constrained dynamics, R. Jackiw on the Schrõdinger representation in Field Theory, S.-Y. Pi on the application of this representation to quantum fields in a Robertson- Walker spacetime, and L. Vinet on Berry Connections. There were three courses on Conformai Field Theory: I. Todorov focused on the problem of construction and classification of conformai field theories. Lattice models, two-dimensional 5 ma- trices and conformai field theory were looked from the unifying perspective of the .Yang-Baxter algebras in the lectures given by M. Karowski. Parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics was discussed in the lectures by L. Vinet. Besides those courses, there was an introdution to string field theory given by G. Horowitz. There were also three seminars: F. Schaposnik reported on recent applications of topological methods in field theory, P. Gêrbert gave a seminar on three dimensional gravity and V. Kurak talked on two dimensional parafermionic models. The second part of this proceedings is devoted to phenomenology. There were three courses on Particle Physics: Dan Green lectured on collider physics, E. Predrazzi on strong interactions and G. Cohen-Tanoudji on the use of strings in strong interactions. We would like to thank everybody who contributed for the success of the V Jorge Andre Swieca Summer School. Very special thanks are due to the lecturers who gave a very nice set of lectures and shared their knowledge and time with the participants. The School would not have been possible without the financial support from the following institutions: CLAF, SBF, FAPESP, ICTP (Trieste), FAPERJ, CNPq, CAPES, FINEP, IBM, FERMILAB and the University of Sio Paulo.

Definition In order to treat simultaneously physical systems possessing either a finite or an infinite number of degrees of freedom, we found convenient to introduce the following notation: Q (T), A = 1,...,N, denote the coordinates (or fields) spanning the configuration space of the physical system.
