Representation Theory and Algebraic Geometry (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Series Number 238) (Volume 0)

This book contains seven lectures delivered at The Maurice Auslander Memorial Conference at Brandeis University in March 1995. The variety of topics covered at the conference reflects the breadth of Maurice Auslander's contribution to mathematics, including commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, homological algebra and representation theory. He was one of the founding fathers of homological ring theory and representation theory of Artin algebras. Undoubtedly, the most characteristic feature of his mathematics was the profound use of homological and functorial techniques. For any researcher in representation theory, algebraic or arithmetic geometry, this book will be a valuable resource.

'The book will be interesting for specialists as well as for mathematicans working inother fields.' European Mathematical Society
