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.
