The proceedings of a 1994 international symposium in Sanda, Japan, with a few papers from a conference of the Research Institute for Mathematical Science, held shortly afterward in Kyoto. The main focus is the moduli spaces of vector bundles, or instantons, and their applications, but the topics of the 20 papers range from differential geometry such as magnetic monopoles and hyper-KShler manifolds, to algebraic geometry of torus bundles and the theory of cycles. Among others are a semi- universal family of reflexive modules over a rational double point of type A , the construction of moduli spaces of stable sheaves via Simpson's idea, small fields in constructive algebraic geometry, and zero-cycles of self-products of varieties.

"Contains papers presented at the 35th Taniguchi International Symposium held recently in Sanda and Kyoto, Japan. Details the latest developments concerning moduli spaces of vector bundles or instantons and their application. Covers a broad array of topics in both differential and algebraic geometry."
