Algebraic Transformation Groups and Algebraic Varieties - Proceedings of the conference Interesting Algebraic Varieties Arising in Algebraic Transformation Group Theory held at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute, Vienna, October 22-26, 2001

The book covers topics in the theory of algebraic transformation groups and algebraic varieties which are very much at the frontier of mathematical research.
