摘要
We review the historical development and physical ideas of topological Yang-Mills theory and explain how quantum field theory, a physical framework describing subatomic physics, can be used as a tool to study differential geometry. We further emphasize that this phenomenon demonstrates that the inter-relation between theoretical physics and mathematics have come into a new stage.
