Description
Book SynopsisContains the proceedings of the conference on Manifolds, $K$-Theory, and Related Topics, held in June, 2014. The articles are a collection of research papers featuring recent advances in homotopy theory, $K$-theory, and their applications to manifolds. Topics covered include homotopy and manifold calculus, structured spectra, and their applications to group theory and the geometry of manifolds.
