Group Theory in China
Hsio-Fu Tuan is a Chinese mathematician who has made important contributions to the theories of both finite groups and Lie groups. He has also had a great influence on the development of algebra, and particularly group theory in China. The present volume consists of a collection of essays on various aspects of group theory written by some of his former students and colleagues in honour of his 80th birthday. The papers contain the main general results, as well as recent ones, on certain topics within this discipline. The chief editor, Zhe-Xian Wan, is a leading algebraist in China.
Lie Algebras
Lie Algebras is based on lectures given by the author at the Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica. This book discusses the fundamentals of the Lie algebras theory formulated by S. Lie. The author explains that Lie algebras are algebraic structures employed when one studies Lie groups. The book also explains Engel's theorem, nilpotent linear Lie algebras, as well as the existence of Cartan subalgebras and their conjugacy. The text also addresses the Cartan decompositions and root systems of semi-simple Lie algebras and the dependence of structure of semi-simple Lie algebras on root systems. The text explains in details the fundamental systems of roots of semi simple Lie algebras and Weyl groups including the properties of the latter. The book addresses the group of automorphisms and the derivation algebra of a Lie algebra and Schur's lemma. The book then shows the characters of irreducible representations of semi simple Lie algebras. This book can be useful for students in advance algebra or who have a background in linear algebra.
Introduction to Kac-Moody Algebra
This book is an introduction to a rapidly growing subject of modern mathematics, the Kac-Moody algebra, which was introduced by V Kac and R Moody simultanously and independently in 1968.
Classical Groups and Related Topics
During his lifetime, L. K. Hua played a leading role in and exerted a great influence upon the development in China of modern mathematics, both pure and applied. His mathematical career began in 1931 at Tsinghua University where he continued as a professor for many years. Hua made many significant contributions to number theory, algebra, geometry, complex analysis, numerical analysis, and operations research. In particular, he initiated the study of classical groups in China and developed new matrix methods which, as applied by him as well as his followers, were instrumental in the successful attack of many problems. To honor his memory, a joint China-U.S. conference on Classical Groups and Related Topics was held at Tsinghua University in Beijing in May 1987. This volume represents the proceedings of that conference and contains both survey articles and research papers focusing on classical groups and closely related topics.
Geometry of Matrices
The present monograph is a state-of-art survey of the geometry of matrices whose study was initiated by L K Hua in the forties. The geometry of rectangular matrices, of alternate matrices, of symmetric matrices, and of hermitian matrices over a division ring or a field are studied in detail. The author's recent results on geometry of symmetric matrices and of hermitian matrices are included. A chapter on linear algebra over a division ring and one on affine and projective geometry over a division ring are also included. The book is clearly written so that graduate students and third or fourth year undergraduate students in mathematics can read it without difficulty.
Quaternary Codes
In recent years quaternary codes have attracted the attention of the coding community as several notorious binary nonlinear codes containing more codewords than any known linear codes were found to be binary images under the Gray map of linear codes over Z 4 This discovery opens the way for a broader study of quaternary codes, which constitute a rapidly growing area of coding theory. This book is based on the author's lectures in Xi'an, China and Lurid, Sweden and covets the most recent developments of this theory.
Advances in Algebra
This is the proceedings of the ICM2002 Satellite Conference on Algebras. Over 175 participants attended the meeting. The opening ceremony included an address by R. Gonchidorsh, former vice-president of the Mongolian Republic in Uaalannbaatar. The topics covered at the conference included general algebras, semigroups, groups, rings, hopf algebras, modules, codes, languages, automation theory, graphs, fuzz algebras and applications.

Coding and Cryptology
Over the past years, the rapid growth of the Internet and World Wide Web has provided great opportunities for online commercial activities, business transactions and government services over open computer and communication networks. However, such developments are only possible if communications can be conducted in a secure and reliable manner. The mathematical theory and practice of coding theory and cryptology underpin the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage. Theoretical and practical advances in these fields are therefore a key factor in facilitating the growth of data communications and data networks.The aim of the International W...
Introduction to Abstract and Linear Algebra
It is known that linear algebra is a useful tool in engineering but, since the middle of this century, abstract linear algebra has also found more and more applications. For instance, finite fields play a prominent role in coding theory and ring theory is the foundation of linear systems over rings. Both linear and abstract algebra should now be in the curriculum of undergraduate engineering students. This introductory book on algebra aims to provide the basic material for such a course. It also constitutes a solid algebraic basis for the non-specialists who wish to become specialists in, for example, coding theory, cryptography and linear systems theory.
