Description
This accessible introduction for Ph.D. students and non-specialists provides Quillen's unique development of cyclic theory.
About the Author
Daniel G. Quillen proved Adam's conjecture in topological K-theory, and Serre's conjecture that all projective modules over a polynomial ring are free. He was awarded the Cole Prize in Algebra and the Fields Medal in 1978. He was Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Oxford, where he lectured on K-theory and cyclic homology. Gordon Blower is Professor of Mathematical Analysis at Lancaster University, with interests in random matrices and applications of operator theory. He attended Quillen's lectures on cyclic theory when he was a junior researcher in Oxford.
Reviews
'The monograph is an excellent introduction to cyclic theory and an absolute must to any academic library, let alone a superb first-hand account and a selfless tribute to the late Daniel G. Quillen.' Igor V. Nikolaev, zbMATH
