The Unity of Mathematics In Honor of the Ninetieth Birthday of I.M. Gelfand

A tribute to the vision and legacy of Israel Moiseevich Gelfand, the invited papers in this volume reflect the unity of mathematics as a whole, with particular emphasis on the many connections among the fields of geometry, physics, and representation theory. Written by leading mathematicians, the te...
