This book is concerned with the role played by modules of infinite length when dealing with problems in the representation theory of groups and algebras, but also in topology and geometry; it shows the intriguing interplay between finite and infinite length modules.
The volume presents the invited lectures of a conference devoted to "Infinite Length Modules," held at Bielefeld in September 1998, which brought together experts from quite different schools in order to survey surprising relations between algebra, topology and geometry. Some additional reports have been included in order to establish a unified picture. The collection of articles, written by well-known experts from all parts of the world, is conceived as a sort of handbook which provides an easy access to the present state of knowledge and its aim is to stimulate further development.

Modern developments in representation theory rely heavily on homological methods. This book for advanced graduate students and researchers introduces these methods from their foundations up and discusses several landmark results that illustrate their power and beauty. Categorical foundations include abelian and derived categories, with an emphasis on localisation, spectra, and purity. The representation theoretic focus is on module categories of Artin algebras, with discussions of the representation theory of finite groups and finite quivers. Also covered are Gorenstein and quasi-hereditary algebras, including Schur algebras, which model polynomial representations of general linear groups, and the Morita theory of derived categories via tilting objects. The final part is devoted to a systematic introduction to the theory of purity for locally finitely presented categories, covering pure-injectives, definable subcategories, and Ziegler spectra. With its clear, detailed exposition of important topics in modern representation theory, many of which were unavailable in one volume until now, it deserves a place in every representation theorist's library.

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.

Bei uber 600 langzeitbehandelten Anfallskranken werden neben klinischen Nebenwirkungen der Antiepileptika mogliche Einflusse auf Knochendichte, peripher- und zentralnervose Funktionen sowie eine Vielzahl von Laborwerten einschliesslich Immunoglobulinen, Hormonen, Lipiden und Vitaminen untersucht. Bisher nicht bekannte Veranderungen werden insbesondere fur Harnsaure, Kreatinin und eine Reihe von Vitaminen beschrieben. Moglichen Zusammenhangen zwischen klinischen Auffalligkeiten und blutchemischen Parametern, speziell dem Vitaminstatus, wird nachgegangen. Zusammenfassend werden fur die tagliche Praxis bei der Uberwachung von Anfallskranken wesentliche Folgerungen dargestellt; wichtige Aspekte ergeben sich hierbei vor allem fur die Kontrollen bei Osteopathie, Polyneuropathie, gastrointestinalen Beschwerden, Leberwerten und Blutbild.
