Synopsis

The structure of odd L-groups.- The surgery group L 3 h (Z(G)) for G a finite 2-group.- Whitehead torsion for PL fiber homotopy equivalences.- Localization in quadratic L-theory.- K2(Z[Z/5]) is generated by relations among 2×2 matrices.- Surgery Formulae and structure.- Balanced splitings of semi-free actions on homotopy spheres.- Some examples of finite group actions.- The homotopy structure of finite group actions on spheres.- Addition of equivariant surgery obstructions.- Obstructions to realizing equivariant witt classes.- Stable G-smoothing.- Linear actions on friendly spaces.- The kunneth formula in equivariant K-theory.- Isotopy classes of periodic diffeomorphisms on spheres.- Original brown-peterson spectra.- Bp-operations and mappings of stunted complex projective spaces.- On the stable homotopy of symplectic classifying and thom spaces.- New applications of commutative algebra to brown-peterson homology.- The signature of symplectic and self-conjugate manifolds.- Homology isomorphisms.- An isomorphism between products of abelian groups.- Axiomatic homotopy theory.- Construction of mod p H-spaces II.- The mod 3 cohomology of the exceptional lie group E8.- A counterexample to the transfer conjecture.- Infinite loop space theory revisited.- A J-homomorphism associated with a space of empty varieties (addenda and corrigenda to two papers on the J-homomorphism).
