This expository paper surveys work on invariant subspaces and related topics which has been done in the past few years. We recommend, naturally, that the reader consult [52] for work done prior to 1973 and [54] for a discussion of some of the consequences of Lomonosov’s Lemma; (Lomonosov’s paper has now also appeared in English ([36])).
