Dedicated to the memory of Chih-Han Sah, this volume continues a long tradition of one of the most influential mathematical seminars of this century. A number of topics are covered, including combinatorial geometry, connections between logic and geometry, Lie groups, algebras and their representations. An additional area of importance is noncommutative algebra and geometry, and its relations to modern physics. Distinguished mathematicians contributing to this work: T.V. Alekseevskaya V. Kac

Matroid Homology -- Sporadic Homogeneous Structures -- Three Questions about Simplices in Spherical and Hyperbolic 3-Space -- Poisson Structure for Restricted Lie Algebras -- Noncommutative Smooth Spaces -- A Cycle for Integration Yielding the Zonal Spherical Function of Type An -- The Existence of Fiber Functors
