Download or read book Une Degustation Topologique: Homotopy Theory in the Swiss Alps written by Dominique Arlettaz and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The talks given at the Arolla Conference on Algebraic Topology covered a broad spectrum of current research in homotopy theory, offering participants the possibility to sample and relish selected morsels of homotopy theory, much as a participant in a wine tasting partakes of a variety of fine wines. True to the spirit of the conference, the proceedings included in this volume present a savory sampler of homotopical delicacies. Readers will find within these pages a compilation of articles describing current research in the area, including classical stable and unstable homotopy theory, configuration spaces, group cohomology, K-theory, localization, p-compact groups, and simplicial theory.
