This volume constitutes a spcial issue of the Michigan Mathematical journal dedicated to William Fulton on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Attesting to the breadth of his contributions, it contains some thirty papers on a wide range of topics centered in algebraic geometry, representation theory and commutative algebra. The Michigan Mathematical Journal is published by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan and endeavors to publish significant research articles in all areas of mathematics. One volume is published each year, and each volume consists of three issues.
Volumes run concurrently with the calendar year.
There is currently no backlog of papers, and the Journal strives to publish articles within six months of their acceptance. The content of each volume is in the back of Issue 3.
