Abstract
The concept and application of algebraic models to nuclear structure is surveyed with emphasis on interpretations in terms of traditional geometric models. Recent studies relating to the relationship between β and γ vibrations in deformed nuclei, to the rigidity or softness of axial asymmetry, to signature splitting in octupole excitations, to O(6) quantum numbers and multi-phonon excitations, and to pseudo-SU(3) are discussed.
