This volume includes articles that are a sampling of modern day algebraic geometry with associated group actions from its leading experts. There are three papers examining various aspects of modular invariant theory (Broer, Elmer and Fleischmann, Shank and Wehlau), and seven papers concentrating on characteristic 0 (Brion, Daigle and Freudenberg, Greb and Heinzner, Helminck, Kostant, Kraft and Wallach, Traves).
