Publisher's Synopsis
Tilting theory originates in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. Today the subject is of much interest in various areas of mathematics, such as finite and algebraic group theory, commutative and non-commutative algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. The aim of this book is to present the basic concepts of tilting theory as well as the variety of applications. It contains a collection of key articles, which together form a handbook of the subject, and provide both an introduction and reference for newcomers and experts alike.
