Product Description: Surveying the most influential developments in the field, this proceedings reviews the latest research on algebras and their representations, commutative and non-commutative rings, modules, conformal algebras, and torsion theories...read more

Product Description: These proceedings are from the Tenth International Conference on Representations of Algebras and Related Topics (ICRA X) held at The Fields Institute. In addition to the traditional 'instructional' workshop preceding the conference, there were also workshops on 'Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory', 'Finite Dimensional Algebras, Algebraic Groups and Lie Theory', and 'Quantum Groups and Hall Algebras'...read more

This book is concerned with the role played by modules of infinite length when dealing with problems in the representation theory of groups and algebras, but also in topology and geometry; it shows the intriguing interplay between finite and infinite length modules. The volume presents the invited lectures of a conference devoted to "Infinite Length Modules", held at Bielefeld in September 1998, which brought together experts from quite different schools in order to survey surprising relations between algebra, topology and geometry. Some additional reports have been included in order to establish a unified picture. The collection of articles, written by well-known experts from all parts of the world, is conceived as a sort of handbook which provides an easy access to the present state of knowledge and its aim is to stimulate further development.

Product Description: This book presents material from 3 survey lectures and 14 additional invited lectures given at the Euroconference "Computational Methods for Representations of Groups and Algebras" held at Essen University in April 1997. The purpose of this meeting was to provide a survey of general theoretical and computational methods and recent advances in the representation theory of groups and algebras...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
