Topics in invariant theory: Seminaire d'Algebre P. Dubreil et M.-P. Malliavin 1989-1990 (40eme annee) - 1478 (1991)

These proceedings reflect the main activities of the Paris Séminaire d'Algèbre 1989-1990, with a series of papers in Invariant Theory, Representation Theory and Combinatorics.

It contains original works from J. Dixmier, F. Dumas, D. Krob, P. Pragacz and B.J. Schmid, as well as a new presentation of Derived Categories by J.E.

Björk and as introduction to the deformation theory of Lie equations by J.F.
