"Based on the proceedings of the recently held Hopf Algebras and Quantum Groups conference a the Free University of Brussels, Belgium, this reference presents state-of-the-art papers - selected from over 65 participants representing nearly 20 countries and more than 45 lectures - on the theory of Hopf algebras, including multiplier Hopf algebras, and quantum groups.". "Containing a listing of conference participants, with email addresses, and citing more than 270 literature references, Hopf Algebras and Quantum Groups is a convenient source of international research for algebraists and number theorists, mathematical physicists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students interested in Hopf algebras."--BOOK JACKET.
