Abstract
In this work we essentially adhere to the standard notation prevalent in mathematical physics. In a few cases, where the customs of mathematicians and physicists diverge, we have had to make painful decisions to achieve a consistent and clear notation. Most of our conventions are summarized below; some of them are explained as they appear in subsequent chapters.
