The Novikov Conjecture : Geometry and Algebra Paperback / softback
by Matthias Kreck, Wolfgang Luck
Part of the Oberwolfach Seminars series
Paperback / softback
Description
These lecture notes contain a guided tour to the Novikov Conjecture and related conjectures due to Baum-Connes, Borel and Farrell-Jones.
They begin with basics about higher signatures, Whitehead torsion and the s-Cobordism Theorem.
Then an introduction to surgery theory and a version of the assembly map is presented.
Using the solution of the Novikov conjecture for special groups some applications to the classification of low dimensional manifolds are given.
