Since 1991, the group of ring theorists from China and Japan, joined by Korea from 1995 onwards, took turns to hold the quadrennial international conferences (sometimes also referred to as symposiums). As the proceedings of the eighth conference held in Nagoya, Japan in 2019, this volume consists of a collection of articles by invited speakers (survey) and general speakers (survey and original), all of which were refereed by world experts.The survey articles show the trends of current research and offer clear, thorough explanations that are ideal for researchers also in other specialized areas of ring theory. The original articles display new results, ideas and tools for research investigations in ring theory.The articles cover major areas in ring theory, such as: structures of rings, module theory, homological algebra, groups, Hopf algebras, Lie theory, representation theory of rings, (non-commutative) algebraic geometry, commutative rings (structures, representations), amongst others.This volume is a useful resource for researchers — both beginners and advanced experts — in ring theory.

This book evolved from our lectures in the advanced algebra courses at Nanjing University. It is intended for use by instructors and undergraduate students in a one-year advanced algebra course.The topics covered in this book consist of integers and polynomials, determinants and matrices, linear systems, linear spaces, linear maps, λ-matrices, quadratic forms, inner product spaces, and bilinear forms.There are sufficient well-selected exercises of a wide range to provide ample practice, expand coverage of topics treated in the text, and challenge the strongest students.Our objective is to prepare students with a solid foundation for pursuing advanced mathematics. We hope that the material presented here will interest the students and help them ask their own questions, look for their own examples, and discover their own proofs.
