The Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory emerged in the 1960s as the main technique for classifying high-dimensional topological manifolds, using the algebraic L-theory of quadratic forms to relate the geometric properties of manifolds and the Poincare duality between ho…
In solid-state physics especially topological techniques have turned out to be extremely useful for modelling and explaining physical properties of matter. This book illustrates various applications of algebraic topology in classical field theory (non-linear sigma-models) and in…
"This is an updated and expanded second edition of a successful and well-reviewed text presenting a detailed exposition of the modern theory of supermanifolds, including a rigorous account of the super-analogs of all the basic structures of ordinary manifold theory." "The exposi…
