Andreas Floer died in 1991. His visions and contributions have significantly influenced the development of mathematics. His main interest centred on the fields of dynamical systems, symplectic geometry, Yang-Mills theory and low dimensional topology. Motivated by the global existence problem of periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems and starting from ideas of Conley, Gromov and Witten, he developed his Floer homology, providing powerful methods which can be applied to problems. This volume opens with a short biography and three papers of Andreas Floer. It then presents a collection of contributions and survey articles, as well as research papers on his fields of interest.
