The Gelfand Mathematical Seminars, 1996 - 1999

Dedicated to the memory of Chih-Han Sah, this volume continues a long
tradition of one of the most influential mathematical seminars of this
century. A number of topics are covered, including combinatorial
geometry, connections between logic and geometry, Lie groups, algebras
and their representations. An additional area of importance is
noncommutative algebra and geometry, and its relations to modern
physics.
Distinguished mathematicians contributing to this work:
T.V. Alekseevskaya V. Kac
A.V. Borovik A. Kazarnovsky-Krol
C.-H. Sah M. Kontsevich
G. Cherlin A. Radul
J.L. Dupont A.L. Rosenberg
I.M. Gelfand N. White
The Gelfand Mathematical Seminar volumes stimulate the birth of
significant ideas in contemporary mathematics and remain invaluable
reference material.
