Symmetry and Spaces - (Progress in Mathematics) by H E a Eddy Campbell & Aloysius G Helminck & Hanspeter Kraft & David L Wehlau (Hardcover)

About the Book

Symmetry and Spaces provides a sampling of modern day algebraic geometry from the leading experts. Contributions discuss various aspects of algebraic geometry, with a particular focus in both modular invariant theory and characteristic 0.

From the Back Cover

A group of Gerry Schwarz's colleagues and collaborators gathered at the Fields Institute in Toronto for a mathematical festschrift in honor of his 60th birthday. This volume is an outgrowth of that event, covering the wide range of mathematics to which Gerry Schwarz has either made fundamental contributions or stimulated others to pursue. The articles are a sampling of modern day algebraic geometry with associated group actions from its leading experts, with a particular focus on characteristic 0 and modular invariant theory.
