About this title

Synopsis

The Novikov Conjecture is the single most important unsolved problem in the topology of high-dimensional non-simply connected manifolds. These two volumes are the outgrowth of a conference held at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (Germany) in September, 1993, on the subject of `Novikov Conjectures, Index Theorems and Rigidity'. They are intended to give a snapshot of the status of work on the Novikov Conjecture and related topics from many points of view: geometric topology, homotopy theory, algebra, geometry, analysis.

From the Back Cover

Volume 2 contains: fundamental long research papers by G. Carlsson on 'Bounded K-theory and the assembly map in algebraic K-theory' and by S. Ferry and E. Pedersen on 'Epsilon surgery theory'; shorter research and survey papers on various topics related to the Novikov Conjecture, by Bekka / Cherix / Valette, Eichhorn Ferry, Higson / Roe, Hurder, Pedersen, Pedersen / Roe / Weinberger, Thomas, Troitsky, and Weiss / Williams.
