| book description |

This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Quantum Groups, Hopf Algebras, and Applications (in memory of Professor Earl J. Taft), which was held from October 22-23, 2022, at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah. Hopf algebras play a crucial role in many areas of mathematics, from finite groups to tensor categories, and allows researchers to make many connections between these subjects. Applications of Hopf algebras to low dimensional topology, topological quantum field theory, and condensed matter physics provide further motivation for the study of representations of Hopf algebras and their generalizations. In memory of Earl Jay Taft, a pioneer of the theory of Hopf algebras, this volume collects research articles on Hopf algebras, quantum groups, and tensor categories contributed by prominent researchers. The articles in this volume manifest the diversity and richness of the subject and contain exciting new results which will certainly have applications to different areas of mathematics and physics.
