For over forty years, Robert Gilmer’s numerous articles and books have had a tremendous impact on research in commutative algebra.

This volume consists of 21 articles by many of the most prominent researchers in non-Noetherian commutative ring theory. The articles combine, in various degrees, surveys of past results, recent results that have never before seen print, open problems, and an extensive bibliography. The concluding chapter collects 100 open problems supplied by the authors.The entire collection provides a comprehensive survey of the development of the field since the 1990s and points to future directions of research in the area.

For over forty years, Robert Gilmer’s numerous articles and books have had a tremendous impact on research in commutative algebra.

This volume consists of twenty-one articles by many of the most prominent researchers in non-Noetherian commutative ring theory. The articles combine in various degrees surveys of past results, recent results that have never before seen print, open problems, and an extensive bibliography. One hundred open problems supplied by the authors have been collected in the volume's concluding chapter. The entire collection provides a comprehensive survey of the development of the field over the last ten years and points to future directions of research in the area. Audience: Researchers and graduate students; the volume is an appropriate source of material for several semester-long graduate-level seminars and courses.

This volume presents a multi-dimensional collection of articles highlighting recent developments in commutative algebra. It also includes an extensive bibliography and lists a substantial number of open problems that point to future directions of research in the represented subfields. The contributions cover areas in commutative algebra that have flourished in the last few decades and are not yet well represented in book form. Highlighted topics and research methods include Noetherian and non- Noetherian ring theory as well as integer-valued polynomials and functions.Specific topics include:· Homological dimensions of Prüfer-like rings· Quasi complete rings· Total graphs of rings· Properties of prime ideals over various rings· Bases for integer-valued polynomials· Boolean subrings· The portable property of domains· Probabilistic topics in Intn(D)· Closure operations in Zariski-Riemann spaces of valuation domains· Stability of domains· Non-Noetherian grade· Homotopy in integer-valued polynomials· Localizations of global properties of rings· Topics in integral closure· Monoids and submonoids of domainsThe book includes twenty articles written by many of the most prominent researchers in the field. Most contributions are authored by attendees of the conference in commutative algebra held at the Graz University of Technology in December 2012. There is also a small collection of invited articles authored by those who did not attend the conference. Following the model of the Graz conference, the volume contains a number of comprehensive survey articles along with related research articles featuring recent results that have not yet been published elsewhere.

Strange Attractors is a collection of approximately 150 poems with strong links to mathematics in content, form, or imagery. The common theme is love, and the editors draw from its various manifestations—romantic love, spiritual love, humorous love, love between parents and children, mathematicians in love, love of mathematics. The poets include literary masters as well as celebrated mathematicians and scientists. "What, after all, is mathematics but the poetry of the mind, and what is poetry but the mathematics of the heart?" So wrote the American mathematician and educator David Eugene Smith. In a similar vein, the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass declared, "A mathematician who is not at the same time something of a poet will never be a full mathematician." Most mathematicians will know what they meant. But what do professional poets think of mathematics? In this delightful collection, the editors present the view of the same terrain—the connections between mathematics and poetry—from the other side of the equation: the poets. Now is your chance to see if the equation balances. —Keith Devlin, mathematician, Stanford University, and author of The Math Gene, The Math Instinct, and The Language of Mathematics

This volume has been curated from two sources:  presentations from the Conference on Rings and Polynomials, Technische Universität Graz, Graz, Austria, July 19 –24, 2021, and papers intended for presentation at the Fourth International Meeting on Integer-valued Polynomials and Related Topics, CIRM, Luminy, France, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. The collection ranges widely over the algebraic, number theoretic and topological aspects of rings, algebras and polynomials. Two areas of particular note are topological methods in ring theory, and integer valued polynomials. The book is dedicated to the memory of Paul-Jean Cahen, a coauthor or research collaborator with some of the conference participants and a friend to many of the others. This collection contains a memorial article about Paul-Jean Cahen, written by his longtime research collaborator and coauthor Jean-Luc Chabert.

This volume presents a collection of articles highlighting recent developments in commutative algebra and related non-commutative generalizations. It also includes an extensive bibliography and lists a substantial number of open problems that point to future directions of research in the represented subfields. The contributions cover areas in commutative algebra that have flourished in the last few decades and are not yet well represented in book form. Highlighted topics and research methods include Noetherian and non-Noetherian ring theory, module theory and integer-valued polynomials along with connections to algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, topology and homological algebra.Most of the eighteen contributions are authored by attendees of the two conferences in commutative algebra that were held in the summer of 2016: “Recent Advances in Commutative Ring and Module Theory,” Bressanone, Italy; “Conference on Rings and Polynomials”  Graz, Austria. There is also a small collection of invited articles authored by experts in the area who could not attend either of the conferences. Following the model of the talks given at these conferences, the volume contains a number of comprehensive survey papers along with related research articles featuring recent results that have not yet been published elsewhere.
