Hopf Algebras and Quantum Groups / Edition 1

by Stefaan Caenepeel, Freddy Van Oystaeyen

Overview

This volume is based on the proceedings of the Hopf-Algebras and Quantum Groups conference at the Free University of Brussels, Belgium. It presents state-of-the-art papers - selected from over 65 participants representing nearly 20 countries and more than 45 lectures - on the theory of Hopf algebras, including multiplier Hopf algebras and quantum groups.
