Description for Surveys on Surgery Theory (AM-145), Volume 1: Papers Dedicated to C. T. C. Wall. (AM-145)
Paperback. Surgery theory is the basis for the classification theory of manifolds. There have been extraordinary accomplishments in that time, which have led to varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and geometry. This work is of interest to those interested in topology, not only graduate students and mathematicians, but also mathematical physicists. Editor(s): Cappell, Sylvain; Ranicki, Andrew; Rosenberg, Jonathan. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 448 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBPH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 158 x 234 x 27. Weight in Grams: 648.
Surgery theory, the basis for the classification theory of manifolds, is now about forty years old. There have been some extraordinary accomplishments in that time, which have led to enormously varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and geometry. Workers in many of these areas have often lamented the lack of a single source that surveys surgery theory and its applications. Indeed, no one person could write such a survey. The sixtieth birthday of C. T. C. Wall, one of the leaders of the founding generation of surgery theory, provided an opportunity to rectify the situation and produce a comprehensive book on ...
