Description
This book gives a clear introductory account of equivariant cohomology, a central topic in algebraic topology. Equivariant cohomology is concerned with the algebraic topology of spaces with a group action, or in other words, with symmetries of spaces. First defined in the 1950s, it has been introduced into K-theory and algebraic geometry, but it is
Author Biography
Loring W. Tu is professor of mathematics at Tufts University. He is the author of An Introduction to Manifolds and Differential Geometry, and the coauthor (with Raoul Bott) of Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology.
Reviews"Very well-written, self contained and gives a clear introductory account of equivariant cohomology, a central topic in algebraic topology. "---Marek Golasinski, Zentralblatt MATH
