COLLECTED PAPERS OF BERTRAM KOSTANT VOLIV COLLE...

For more than five decades Bertram Kostant has been one of the major architects of modern Lie
theory. Virtually all his papers are pioneering with deep consequences  many giving rise to
whole new fields of activities. His interests span a tremendous range of Lie theory  from
differential geometry to representation theory  abstract algebra  and mathematical physics. It
is striking to note that Lie theory (and symmetry in general) now occupies an ever increasing
larger role in mathematics than it did in the fifties. Now in the sixth decade of his career 
he continues to produce results of astonishing beauty and significance for which he is invited
to lecture all over the world.This is the fourth volume (1985-1995) of a five-volume set of
Bertram Kostant's collected papers. A distinguished feature of this fourth volume is Kostant's
commentaries and summaries of his papers in his own words.
