The aim of this international conference the third of its type was to survey recent developments in Geometric Topology and Shape Theory with an emphasis on their interaction.
The main result of this original research monograph is the classification of C*-algebras of ordinary foliations of the plane in terms of a class of -trees.
Freeness of an action of a compact Lie group on a compact Hausdorff space is equivalent to a simple condition on the corresponding equivariant K-theory.
This book reviews recent results on low-dimensional quantumfield theories and their connection with quantum grouptheory and the theory of braided, balanced tensorcategories.
These proceedings reflect the main activities of the Paris Seminaire d'Algebre 1989-1990, with a series of papers in Invariant Theory, Representation Theory and Combinatorics.
As part of the scientific activity in connection with the 70th birthday of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, an international conference on algebraic topology was held.
This selection of papers from the Beijing conference gives a cross-section of the current trends in the field of fixed point theory as seen by topologists and analysts.
The papers in this collection, all fully refereed, originalpapers, reflect many aspects of recent significant advancesin homotopy theory and group cohomology.
This book is a general introduction to Higher AlgebraicK-groups of rings and algebraic varieties, which were firstdefined by Quillen at the beginning of the 70's.
Since the subject of Groups of Self-Equivalences was first discussed in 1958 in a paper of Barcuss and Barratt, a good deal of progress has been achieved.
This volume (a sequel to LNM 1108, 1214, 1334 and 1453)continues the presentation to English speaking readers ofthe Voronezh University press series on Global Analysis andIts Applications.
With one exception, these papers are original and fullyrefereed research articles on various applications ofCategory Theory to Algebraic Topology, Logic and ComputerScience.
The Pontryagin-van Kampen duality theorem and the Bochner theorem on positive-definite functions are known to be true for certain abelian topological groups that are not locally compact.
Categorical algebra and its applications contain several fundamental papers on general category theory, by the top specialists in the field, and many interesting papers on the applications of category theory in functional analysis, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, general topology, ring theory, cohomology, differential geometry, group theory, mathematical logic and computer sciences.
The first part of this research monograph discusses general properties of G-ENRBs - Euclidean Neighbourhood Retracts over B with action of a compact Lie group G - and their relations with fibrations, continuous submersions, and fibre bundles.
Several recent investigations have focused attention on spaces and manifolds which are non-compact but where the problems studied have some kind of "e;control near infinity"e;.
A small conference was held in September 1986 to discuss new applications of elliptic functions and modular forms in algebraic topology, which had led to the introduction of elliptic genera and elliptic cohomology.
This comprehensive monograph provides a self-contained treatment of the theory of I*-measure, or Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, from a constructive point of view.
