Prior to the International Congress of 1990 in Japan, a workshop on algebra was held which included some of the best known figures in this field. Many of the expository surveys given at this workshop by distinguished mathematicians are included here. Researchers into representation theory will find that this volume contains interesting and stimulating contributions to the development of the subject.

1.Contravariantly finite subcategories of module categories
2. Countably generated pure-projective and pure-injective modules
3. Projective resolutions and cohomology of group rings
4. Tame algebras
5. Quasi-hereditary algebras
6. Matrix problems, tilting theory and representations of Lie groups
7. Some classification problems for modular representations of groups
8. Loewy algebras as quantizations of Lie algebras.
