Algebra: Proceedings of the International Algebraic Conference on the Occasion of the 90th Birthday of A. G. Kurosh, Moscow, Ru ([De Gruyter Proceedings in Mathematics])

The volume is introduced with a schedule of the conference sessions held in May 1998 in Moscow, and a vita of Kurosh (1908-1971), a forefather of modern algebra affiliated with Moscow State U. The names of the six sessions offer a sense of the diversity of participant interests: group theory; theory of rings and modules, homological algebra, and K-theory; Lie groups and Lie algebras, invariant theory, and algebraic groups; algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, commutative algebra; algebraic systems; and computer algebra, and algorithmic problems. A sampling of the 32 titles by the international contributors includes: Strictly stratified algebras; Randomness: algebraic, statistical and complexity theory aspects; Codimension growth and graded identities; Birational correspondences of a double cone; Modular Lie algebras: new trends; and Some notes on universal algebraic geometry.
