Dedicated to Anthony Joseph in honor of his 60th birthday, this volume contains two articles reviewing different aspects of Joseph's impact on the theory of representations of Lie algebras and 17 original contributions from leading specialists in the field. The book contains new results on different aspects of Lie theory, including Lie superalgebras, quantum groups, crystal bases, representations of reductive groups in finite characteristic, and the geometric Langlands program.

Dedicated to Tony Joseph in honor of his 60th birhday, this volume contains 2 surveys and 16 invited research articles by distinguished experts in representation theory, focusing on semisimple Lie algebras and quantum groups, where the impact of Joseph's work has been seminal and has changed the face of the subject.

Klappentext

Dedicated to Tony Joseph in honor of his 60th birhday, this volume contains 2 surveys and 16 invited research articles by distinguished experts in representation theory, focusing on semisimple Lie algebras and quantum groups, where the impact of Joseph's work has been seminal and has changed the face of the subject.
