What is recorded here?
Created a systematic framework for constructing quotients in algebraic geometry through invariant theory and stability, enabling moduli problems to be treated by geometric invariant theory.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record targets the sole-author first edition of 1965. Later enlarged editions coauthored with John Fogarty and Frances Kirwan, as well as later refinements and applications, are distinct works and are not attributed to this first-edition record.
