Iterated Integrals And Cycles On Algebraic Manifolds

This subject has been of great interest both to topologists and to number theorists. The first part of this book describes some of the work of Kuo-Tsai Chen on iterated integrals and the fundamental group of a manifold. The author attempts to make his exposition accessible to beginning graduate students. He then proceeds to apply Chen''s constructions to algebraic geometry, showing how this leads ...
