Algebraic Topology: Oaxtepec 1991: Oaxtepec 1991 :proceedings of an International Conference on Algebraic Topology, July 4-11, 1991 with Support from the National Science Foundation and the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia Y Technologia (Mexico)

This book consists of twenty-nine articles contributed by participants of the International Conference in Algebraic Topology held in July 1991 in Mexico. In addition to papers on current research, there are several surveys and expositions on the work of Mark Mahowald, whose sixtieth birthday was celebrated during the conference. The conference was truly international, with over 130 mathematicians from fifteen countries. It ended with a spectacular total eclipse of the sun, a photograph of which appears as the frontispiece. The papers range over much of algebraic topology and cross over into related areas, such as K theory, representation theory, and Lie groups. Also included is a chart of the Adams spectral sequence and a bibliography of Mahowald's publications.
