• Sommario/riassunto: This volume reviews and updates a prominent series of workshops in representation/Lie theory, and reflects the widespread influence of those workshops in such areas as harmonic analysis, representation theory, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. Many of the contributors have had leading roles in both the classical and modern developments of Lie theory and its applications. This Work, entitled Developments and Retrospectives in Lie Theory, and comprising 26 articles, is organized in two volumes: Algebraic Methods and Geometric and Analytic Methods. This is the Algebraic Methods volume. The Lie Theory Workshop series, founded by Joe Wolf and Ivan Penkov and joined shortly thereafter by Geoff Mason, has been running for over two decades. Travel to the workshops has usually been supported by the NSF, and local universities have provided hospitality. The workshop talks have been seminal in describing new perspectives in the field covering broad areas of current research. Most of the workshops have taken place at leading public and private universities in California, though on occasion workshops have taken place in Oregon, Louisiana and Utah. Experts in representation theory/Lie theory from various parts of the Americas, Europe and Asia have given talks at these meetings. The workshop series is robust, and the meetings continue on a quarterly basis. Contributors to the Algebraic Methods volume: Y. Bahturin, C. P. Bendel, B.D. Boe, J. Brundan, A. Chirvasitu, B. Cox, V.
