Description for Algebraic Quotients
Hardback. Aims to present the main trends and achievements of research in the theory of quotients by actions of algebraic groups. This theory contains geometric invariant theory with various applications to problems of moduli theory. It treats the subject of torus actions on algebraic varieties. Series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 242 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 1170.
This is the second volume of the new subseries "Invariant Theory and Algebraic Transformation Groups". The aim of the survey by A. Bialynicki-Birula is to present the main trends and achievements of research in the theory of quotients by actions of algebraic groups. This theory contains geometric invariant theory with various applications to problems of moduli theory. The contribution by J. Carrell treats the subject of torus actions on algebraic varieties, giving a detailed exposition of many of the cohomological results one obtains from having a torus action with fixed points. Many examples, such as toric varieties and flag varieties, ... Read more

Reviews for Algebraic Quotients
"This volume of the Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences contains three contributions on actions of algebraic groups. The first one, by A. Bialynicki-Birula, is concerned with the general concept of a quotient, while the other two, by J.B.Carrell and W.M. McGovern, are on more specific topics. [...] These three articles are all of value, but have somewhat different nature. ... Read more
