A
comprehensive account of one of the main
directions of
algebraic topology, this book
focuses on the
Sullivan conjecture and its
generalizations and applications. Lionel Schwartz collects here for the first time some of the most innovative work on the theory of modules over the Steenrod algebra, including ideas on the Segal conjecture, work from the late 1970s by Adams and Wilkerson, and topics in algebraic group representation theory.
This course-tested book provides a valuable reference for algebraic topologists and includes foundational material essential for graduate study.
