Dedicated to Anthony Joseph, this volume contains surveys and invited articles
by leading specialists in representation theory. The focus here is on semisimple
Lie algebras and quantum groups, where the impact of Joseph's work has been
seminal and has changed the face of the subject.
Two introductory biographical overviews of Joseph's contributions in classical
representation theory (the theory of primitive ideals in semisimple Lie
algebras) and quantized representation theory (the study of the quantized
enveloping algebra) are followed by 16 research articles covering a number of
varied and interesting topics in representation theory.
