Novikov Conjectures, Index Theorems, and Rigidity: Volume 2

London Mathematical Society Lecture Note #227

by Steven C. Ferry (Editor), Andrew Ranicki, Jonathan M. Rosenberg

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 geometric topology, homotopy theory, algebra, geometry, analysis.
