Groups, Algebras and Applications

This book contains the proceedings of the XVIII Latin American Algebra Colloquium, held from August 3–8, 2009, in São Paulo, Brazil. It includes research articles as well as up-to-date surveys covering several directions of current research in algebra, such as Asymptotic Codimension Growth, Hopf Algebras, Structure Theory of both Associative and Non-Associative Algebras, Partial Actions of Groups on Rings, and contributions to Coding Theory.
