Description for Stable Homotopy Around the Arf-Kervaire Invariant
Hardback. This book describes key techniques of stable homotopy theory, classical and new, and applies them to the unsolved problem of the existence of framed manifolds with odd Arf-Kervaire invariant. It introduces a new technique called "upper triangular technology." Series: Progress in Mathematics. Num Pages: 239 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 680.

Reviews for Stable Homotopy Around the Arf-Kervaire Invariant
From the reviews: “This book is concerned with homotopy theoretical approaches to the study of the Arf-Kervaire invariant one problem … . The last chapter is an extra one in which some current themes related to the subject are described. … The bibliography contains 297 titles. … this book an excellent guide to the classical problem above.” (Haruo Minami, ...
