This volume is dedicated to the memory of Issai Schur. It opens
with some biographical reminiscences of the famous school he
established in Berlin, his brutal dismissal by the Nazi regime and
his tragic end in Palestine. This is followed by an extensive
review of the extraordinary impact of his lesser known analytic
work. Finally, leading mathematicians in the representation theory
of the symmetric groups, of semisimple and affine Lie algebras and
of Chevalley groups have contributed original and outstanding
articles. These concern many areas inspired by Schur's work as well
as more recent developments involving crystal and canonical bases,
Hecke algebras, and the geometric approach linking orbits to
representations. Contributors: Biography: H. Abelin-Schur, W.
