Description for Surveys on Surgery Theory (AM-149), Volume 2: Papers Dedicated to C.T.C. Wall. (AM-149)
Paperback. Surgery theory is the basis for the classification theory of manifolds. This title reflects on the accomplishments of surgery theory as well as its varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and geometry. It covers the topics that include applications of surgery, Wall's finiteness obstruction, algebraic surgery, and surgery in dimension four. Editor(s): Cappell, Sylvain; Ranicki, Andrew; Rosenberg, Jonathan. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 380 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBPH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 628.
Surgery theory, the basis for the classification theory of manifolds, is now about forty years old. The sixtieth birthday (on December 14, 1996) of C.T.C. Wall, a leading member of the subject's founding generation, led the editors of this volume to reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments of surgery theory as well as its current enormously varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and geometry. Workers in many of these areas have often lamented the lack of a single source surveying surgery theory and its applications. Because no one person could write such a survey, the editors asked a variety of experts to ... Read more
