Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of a workshop held in Istanbul, Turkey, in July 1991. Paper topics include non-commutative spheres and numerical quantum mechanics, matricial and ultramatricial topology, the crossed product of the irrational rotation algebra by the flip, regular actions of Hopf algebras on the C*-algebra generated by Hilbert space, two quantized tensor products, geometry of differential equations and projective representations of the Witt algebra, and spin models on the knot projections.
