"... This book gives a good flavour of some current research in algebraic transofrmation groups and their applications. ..."
B.Martin, Newsletter of the New Zealand Mathematical Society, No. 93, April 2005
The book covers topics in the theory of algebraic transformation groups and algebraic varieties which are very much at the frontier of mathematical research. The contributors are all internationally well-known specialists, and hence the book will have great appeal to researchers and graduate students in mathematics and mathematical physics.
