Book description

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 and analysis. Volume 1 contains:A detailed historical survey and bibliography of the Novikov Conjecture and of related subsequent developments, including an annotated reprint (both in the original Russian and in English translation) of Novikov's original 1970 statement of his conjectureAn annotated problem listThe texts of several important unpublished classic papers by Milnor, Browder, and KasparovResearch/survey papers on the Novikov Conjecture by Ferry/Weinberger, Gromov, Mishchenko, Quinn, Ranicki, and Rosenberg.

Reviews

‘These proceedings will be useful for all who are interested in related fields of mathematics such as topology, geometry and analysis and especially for those who are attracted by problems related to the topology of manifolds.’

‘ … this two volume collection ofers a very nice way to see both the historical development and the current activities in the field.’
