代數(shù)和表示理論的特點(diǎn)是仔細(xì)參考了有關(guān)代數(shù)的結(jié)構(gòu)和表示理論的論文，從廣義上說(shuō)，包括李代數(shù)和超代數(shù)，微分算子環(huán)，群環(huán)和代數(shù)，C*-代數(shù)和Hopf代數(shù)，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)量子群。該雜志包含高水平的，重要的和原始的研究論文，以及由專(zhuān)家撰寫(xiě)的說(shuō)明性調(diào)查論文，誰(shuí)提出了定義明確的主題或子領(lǐng)域的最新技術(shù)。偶爾也會(huì)出版關(guān)于特定主題的特刊，專(zhuān)刊使專(zhuān)家和非專(zhuān)家能夠迅速熟悉環(huán)、代數(shù)及其應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的新發(fā)展和主題。

Algebras and Representation Theory features carefully refereed papers relating, in its broadest sense, to the structure and representation theory of algebras, including Lie algebras and superalgebras, rings of differential operators, group rings and algebras, C*-algebras and Hopf algebras, with particular emphasis on quantum groups.The journal contains high level, significant and original research papers, as well as expository survey papers written by specialists who present the state-of-the-art of well-defined subjects or subdomains. Occasionally, special issues on specific subjects are published as well, the latter allowing specialists and non-specialists to quickly get acquainted with new developments and topics within the field of rings, algebras and their applications.
