• Sommario/riassunto: "We contribute to the classification of Hopf algebras with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, GKdim for short, through the study of Nichols algebras over abelian groups. We deal first with braided vector spaces over Z with the generator acting as a single Jordan block and show that the corresponding Nichols algebra has finite GKdim if and only if the size of the block is 2 and the eigenvalue is 1; when this is 1, we recover the quantum Jordan plane. We consider next a class of braided vector spaces that are direct sums of blocks and points that contains those of diagonal type. We conjecture that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type has finite GKdim if and only if the corresponding generalized root system is finite. Assuming the validity of this conjecture, we classify all braided vector spaces in the mentioned class ; whose Nichols algebra has finite GKdim. Consequently we present several new examples of Nichols algebras with finite GKdim, including two not in the class alluded to above. We determine which among these Nichols algebras are domains"--

• Sommario/riassunto: The prestige of the Enlightenment has declined in recent years. Many consider its thinking abstract, its art and poetry uninspiring, and the assertion that it introduced a new age of freedom and progress after centuries of darkness and superstition presumptuous. In this book, an eminent scholar of modern culture shows that the Enlightenment was a more complex phenomenon than most of its detractors and advocates ; assume. It includes rationalist as well as antirationalist tendencies, a critique of traditional morality and religion as well as an attempt to establish them on new foundations, even the beginning of a moral renewal and a spiritual revival.The Enlightenment's critique of tradition was a necessary consequence of the fundamental modern principle that we humans are solely responsible for the course of history. Hence we can accept no belief, no authority, no institutions that are not in some way justified. This foundation, for better or for worse, determined the course of the following centuries. Despite contemporary reactions against it, the Enlightenment continues to shape our own time and still distinguishes Western culture from any other.
