Finiteness obstruction of C. T. C. Wall Kalathoor Varadarajan.

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Canadian Mathematical Society series of monographs and advanced textsPublication details: New York : Wiley-Interscience, 1989.Description: x, 194 p. ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 0471623067
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 V287 514.223
Contents:
Chapter 1: CW-Complexes and J.H.C. Whitehead's theorems-- Chapter 2: E. Dror's generalization of Whitehead's theorem-- Chapter 3: Grothendieck groups-- Chapter 4: Relationship between K0(R) and the ideal class group when R is a dedekind domain-- Chapter 5: Dock sang Rim's theorem-- Chapter 6: Finiteness obstruction of C.T.C. wall-- Chapter 7: Finitely dominated Nilpotent spaces-- References-- Index.
Summary: This monograph gives an account of C.T.C.Wall's work on finiteness conditions on CW-complexes. Varadarayan recasts Wall's obstruction proofs in algebraic terms (the proofs depending upon results from algebraic number theory and on K-theoretic induction theorems), and ends with a study of finitely-dominated nilpotent spaces. Most of the material in this volume appears for the first time in book form.
