This volume continues the work covered in Core Maths or Mathematics - The Core Course for Advanced Level to provide a full two-year course in Pure Mathematics for A-Level.
Induction Theorems for Groups of Homotopy Manifold Structures
Classifying spaces in surgery theory were first used by Sullivan and Casson in their (independent) unpublished work on the Hauptvermutung for PL manifolds. In his 1968 Ph.D. thesis, F. Quinn developed a general theory of surgery classifying spaces, realizing the Wall surgery groups as the homotopy groups [italic]L[subscript]*([italic]G) = [lowercase Greek]Pi[subscript]*([italic]L([italic]G)) of a spectrum of manifold n-ad surgery problems with fundamental group G. This work presents a detailed account of Quinn's theory. Geometric methods are used to view the Sullivan-Wall manifold structure sequence as an exact sequence of abelian groups (as suggested by Quinn). The intersection of the known induction theorems for generalized cohomology groups and [italic]L-groups then gives an induction theorem for the structure sequence with finite [italic]G.
Surgery Theory
This monograph provides a comprehensive introduction to surgery theory, the main tool in the classification of manifolds. Surgery theory was developed to carry out the so-called Surgery Program, a basic strategy to decide whether two closed manifolds are homeomorphic or diffeomorphic. This book provides a detailed explanation of all the ingredients necessary for carrying out the surgery program, as well as an in-depth discussion of the obstructions that arise. The components include the surgery step, the surgery obstruction groups, surgery obstructions, and the surgery exact sequence. This machinery is applied to homotopy spheres, the classification of certain fake spaces, and topological ri...

Quantum Groups and Lie Theory
This book comprises an overview of the material presented at the 1999 Durham Symposium on Quantum Groups and includes contributions from many of the world's leading figures in this area. It will be of interest to researchers and will also be useful as a reference text for graduate courses.
Intelligence of Low Dimensional Topology 2006
This volume gathers the contributions from the international conference ?Intelligence of Low Dimensional Topology 2006,? which took place in Hiroshima in 2006. The aim of this volume is to promote research in low dimensional topology with the focus on knot theory and related topics. The papers include comprehensive reviews and some latest results.
Classification Problems in Ergodic Theory
The isomorphism problem of ergodic theory has been extensively studied since Kolmogorov's introduction of entropy into the subject and especially since Ornstein's solution for Bernoulli processes. Much of this research has been in the abstract measure-theoretic setting of pure ergodic theory. However, there has been growing interest in isomorphisms of a more restrictive and perhaps more realistic nature which recognize and respect the state structure of processes in various ways. These notes give an account of some recent developments in this direction. A special feature is the frequent use of the information function as an invariant in a variety of special isomorphism problems. Lecturers and postgraduates in mathematics and research workers in communication engineering will find this book of use and interest.
Advances in Disordered Systems, Random Processes and Some Applications
This book offers a unified perspective on the study of complex systems with contributions written by leading scientists from various disciplines, including mathematics, physics, computer science, biology, economics and social science. It is written for researchers from a broad range of scientific fields with an interest in recent developments in complex systems.
Finite Geometries and Designs
This 1981 collection of 33 research papers follows from a conference on the interwoven themes of finite Desarguesian spaces and Steiner systems, amongst other topics.
Recent Developments in Algebraic Topology
This book is an excellent illustration of the versatility of Algebraic Topology interacting with other areas in Mathematics and Physics. Topics discussed in this volume range from classical Differential Topology and Homotopy Theory (Kervaire invariant one problem) to more recent lines of research such as Topological Quantum Field Theory (string theory). Likewise, alternative viewpoints on classical problems in Global Analysis and Dynamical Systems are developed (a spectral sequence approach to normal form theory). This collection of papers is based on talks at the conference on the occasion of Sam Gitler's 70th birthday (December, 2003). The variety of topics covered in this book reflects the many areas where Sam Gitler's contributions have had an impact.
