Homotopy Methods in Algebraic Topology: Proceeding of an Ams-Ims-Siam Joint Summer Research Conference Held at University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, June 20-24, 1999

Proceedings of a June 1999 conference on modern aspects of homotopy theoretic methods in many algebraic settings. Some topics are the Adams E2-term for elliptic cohomology, mapping close groups and function spaces, extended powers of manifolds and the Adams spectral sequence, the homotopy type of the loops on a 2-cell complex, and the K -theory of nilpotent endomorphisms. Other topics include toral groups and classifying spaces of p -compact groups, dual calculus for functors to spectra, the triple loop space approach to the telescope conjecture, and the Connes-Kreimer construction of Hopf algebras.
