Consists of some 30 lectures and invited papers written by mathematicians from Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. Some of the topics covered in the volume includes global krull dimension; finding splitting elements and maximal tori in matrix algebras; D-Gorenstein modules; a projective version of Maranda's Theorem; prime spectra of quantized coordinate rings; noetherian semigroup algebras; a lattice invariant for modules; covers and envelopes in functor categories; and static modules and equivalences. Contributions are presented in their original typeface but are continuously paginated. One article appears in French, untranslated. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c.

This work is based on a set of lectures and invited papers presented at a meeting in Murcia, Spain, organized by the European Commission's Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR) Programme. It contains information on the structure of representation theory of groups and algebras and on general ring theoretic methods related to the theory.
