Cohomological Methods in Transformation Groups Paperback / softback

Part of the Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This is an account of the theory of certain types of compact transformation groups, namely those that are susceptible to study using ordinary cohomology theory and rational homotopy theory, which in practice means the torus groups and elementary abelian p-groups.
The efforts of many mathematicians have combined to bring a depth of understanding to this area.
However to make it reasonably accessible to a wide audience, the authors have streamlined the presentation, referring the reader to the literature for purely technical results and working in a simplified setting where possible.
In this way the reader with a relatively modest background in algebraic topology and homology theory can penetrate rather deeply into the subject, whilst the book at the same time makes a useful reference for the more specialised reader.
