Lie Theory and Geometry: In Honor of Bertram Kostant in Bloomington, MN

This volume, dedicated to Bertram Kostant on the occasion of his 65
th
birthday, is a collection of 22 invited papers by leading mathematicians working in Lie theory, geometry, algebra, and mathematical physics. Kostant’s fundamental work in all these areas has provided deep new insights and connections, and has created new fields of research. The papers gathered here present original research articles as well as expository papers, broadly reflecting the range of Kostant’s work.
