A major success in 19th century algebraic geometry was a complete solution of the rationality problem in dimensions one and two over algebraically closed ground fields of characteristic zero. Such advances has led to many interdisciplinary applications to algebraic geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive book consists of surveys of research papers by leading specialists in the field and gives indications for future research in rationality problems. Topics discussed include the rationality of quotient spaces, cohomological invariants of quasi-simple Lie type groups, rationality of the moduli space of curves, and rational points on algebraic varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is intended for researchers, mathematicians, and graduate students interested in algebraic geometry, and specifically in rationality problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: F.
