Recent Advances in Representation Theory, Quantum Groups, Algebraic Geometry, and Related Topics: AMS Special Sessions on Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of Representation Theory and Quantum Groups, and Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry, October 13-14, 2012, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana

This volume contains the proceedings of two AMS Special Sessions Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of Representation Theory' andQuantum Groups and Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry' held October 13-14, 2012, at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Included in this volume are original research and some survey articles on various aspects of representations of algebras including Kac-Moody algebras, Lie superalgebras, quantum groups, toroidal algebras, Leibniz algebras and their connections with other areas of mathematics and mathematical physics.
