From symmetries to strings: forty years of Rochester Conferences. Papers from the symposium in honor of Professor Susumu Okubo held in Rochester, NY, USA, May 4--5, 1990 (Q2782235)

The nineteen papers in this collection include the following: Stephen L. Adler, Scattering theory in quaternionic quantum mechanics (37-56); B. Sakita and Zhao-bin Su, Collective field theory applied to the fractional quantum Hall effect (179-187); L. C. Biedenharn and M. A. Lohé, Some remarks on quantum groups---a new variation on the theme of symmetry (189-206); Janos Polonyi, Topological defects and anomalies (225-239); Alberto Elduque and Hyo Chul Myung, On Okubo algebras (299-310). The articles of mathematical interest will be reviewed individually.NEWLINENEWLINEIndexed articles:NEWLINENEWLINE\textit{Adler, Stephen L.}, Scattering theory in quaternionic quantum mechanics, 37-56 [Zbl 0985.81774]NEWLINENEWLINE\textit{Sakita, B.; Su, Zhaobin}, Collective field theory applied to the fractional quantum Hall effect, 179-187 [Zbl 0985.81810]NEWLINENEWLINE\textit{Biedenharn, L.
