This volume includes articles that are a sampling of modern day algebraic geometry with associated group actions from its leading experts. There are three papers examining various aspects of modular invariant theory (Broer, Elmer and Fleischmann, Shank and Wehlau), and seven papers concentrating on characteristic 0 (Brion, Daigle and Freudenberg, Greb and Heinzner, Helminck, Kostant, Kraft and Wallach, Traves).
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.
A group of Gerry Schwarzs 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.
