Description
Book SynopsisThe articles in the proceedings are closely related to the lectures presented at the topology conference held at the University of Hawaii, August 12-18, 1990. These cover recent results in algebraic topology, algebraic transformation groups, real algebraic geometry, low-dimensional topology, and Nielsen Fixed Point Theory.
