by James W. Brewer, Sarah Glaz, William Heinzer, Bruce Olberding

Overview

This volume, a tribute to the work of Robert Gilmer, consists of twenty-four articles authored by his most prominent students and followers. These articles combine surveys of past work by Gilmer and others, recent results which have never before seen print, open problems, and extensive bibliographies. The entire collection provides an in-depth overview of the topics of research in a significant and large area of commutative algebra.
