Author Description

This volume is based upon the lecture notes of a summer school and workshop held in 2009 at East China Normal University, and consists of papers dealing with various areas of Lie theory and representation theory. Topics include: recent developments in representations of Lie superalgebras; combinatorial and geometric aspects of representation theory of finite group schemes; recent developments in the representation theory and cohomology theory of reductive algebraic groups; and the theory of D-modules and its application to representations of Lie algebras.
