Foliations, Volume 2

von Alberto Candel, Lawrence Conlon

560 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This is the second of two volumes on the qualitative theory of foliations. For this volume, the authors have selected three special topics: analysis on foliated spaces, characteristic classes of foliations, and foliated manifolds. Each of these is an example of deep interaction between foliation theory and some other highly-developed area of mathematics. In all cases, the authors present useful, in-depth introductions, which lead to further study using the extensive available literature. This comprehensive volume has something to offer a broad spectrum of readers: from beginners to advanced students to professional researchers. It contains exercises and many illustrations. The book would make an elegant supplementary text for a topics course at the advanced graduate level. ""Foliations I"" is Volume 23 in the AMS series, ""Graduate Studies in Mathematics"".
