Adams Memorial Symposium on Algebraic Topology: Volume 2

This two-volume work presents the proceedings of the 1990 International Symposium on Algebraic Topology, honoring J. Frank Adams. It covers various topics, including stable homotopy theory and Adams' significant contributions.

Adams Memorial Symposium on Algebraic Topology: Volume 2 serves as a tribute to the significant contributions of J. Frank Adams to the field of algebraic topology. His influence is evident in the ongoing development of the discipline, and this volume captures the essence of his work through the proceedings of the International Symposium on Algebraic Topology, held in Manchester in July 1990. This event brought together many of the world's leading experts, all coming together to honor Adams' legacy.

The collection of articles within this volume ranges from comprehensive overviews to reports on ongoing research, showcasing the vibrant current state of algebraic topology. It includes a thorough survey and complete bibliography of Adams' own contributions, highlighting the depth and breadth of his impact on the field. The proceedings not only serve as a commemoration of Adams but also as a vital resource for researchers and scholars interested in the advancements in algebraic topology.

Focusing on themes such as stable homotopy theory, the Steenrod algebra, and the Adams spectral sequence, this volume complements its counterpart, which primarily addresses unstable homotopy theory and homological and categorical algebra. Together, these volumes present a rich tapestry of knowledge, illustrating how Adams' work continues to inspire and inform contemporary research in algebraic topology.
