Description

Book Synopsis
This text provides topologists with a new way of looking at the classification theory of singular spaces. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of high-dimensional manifold theory. It then offers the parallel theory for stratified spaces. Applications are also included.

Table of Contents
Part 1 Manifold theory: algebraic K-theory and topology; surgery theory; spacification and functoriality; applications. Part 2 General theory: definitions and examples; classification of stratified spaces; transverse stratified classification; PT category; controlled topology; proof of main theorems in topology. Part 3 Applications and illustrations: manifolds and embedding theory revisited; supernormal spaces and varieties; group actions; rigidity conjectures.
