This book discusses many interesting results have been obtained in Leibniz algebras over the past two decades. The authors not only summarize recent results and methods successfully used in Leibniz algebras, but also show new prospective horizons. Any mathematical theories have a number of natural problems that arise in the process of its development, and these problems quite often have analogues in other areas such as differential geometry, homological algebra, classical algebraic topology, noncommutative geometry, etc. With this in mind the authors describe the general structure of Leibniz algebras that have already been discovered. This approach allows readers to see which parts of the theory should be developed further and also shows the significant differences of Leibniz algebras from Lie algebras. Recent results that constitute the naturally evolving general theory of the subject are then explored.
