Description for On Thom Spectra, Orientability and Cobordism hardcover. For many years, algebraic topology rests on three legs: 'ordinary' cohomology, K-theory, and cobordism. This book focuses on the subject of cobordism, Thom spaces (spectra), orientability theory and (co)bordism theory (including (co)bordism with singularities and, in particular, Morava K-theories), framed by (co)homology theories and spectra. Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 590 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBPD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1017.

For many years, algebraic topology rests on three legs: "ordinary" cohomology, K-theory, and cobordism. This book is the first guide on the subject of cobordism since R. Stong's encyclopaedic and influential notes of a generation ago. It concentrates on Thom spaces (spectra), orientability theory and (co)bordism theory (including (co)bordism with singularities and, in particular, Morava K-theories), framed by (co)homology theories and spectra.
