Surveying the most influential developments in the field, this proceedings reviews the latest research on algebras and their representations, commutative and non-commutative rings, modules, conformal algebras, and torsion theories. The volume collects stimulating discussions from world-renowned names including Tsit-Yuen Lam, Larry Levy, Barbara Osofsky, and Patrick Smith.
