Ring Theory, Waterloo 1978: Proceedings, University Of Waterloo, Canada, 12-16 June, 1978 (lecture Notes In Mathematics) (english And French Edition)

A Ring Theory Conference Took Place At The University Of Waterloo, 12-16 June 1978, And These Are Its Proceedings. This Conference Was Held As A Part Of The Summer Research Institute In Ring Theory, At Waterloo, Sponsored By The Canadian Mathematical Society. In Soliciting Speakers, And Contributors To The Proceedings, We Attempted To Represent Those Portions Of Ring Theory Which Seemed To Us Interesting. There Was Thus Considerable Emphasis On Lower K-theory And Related Topics, Artinian And Noetherian Rings, As Well As Actions And Representations Of Groups On Rings. Regrettably, We Could Only Obtain One Paper In The Mainstream Of Commutative Ring Theory, But We Believe That The Lack Of Quantity Is More Than Made Up For By The Quality. We Also Took The Liberty Of Including A Survey Of Results In A Field Which We Feel Deserves More Attention By Ring Theorists, C* Algebras From An Algebraic Point Of View.
