Description

Concerned with two fundamental problems in low-dimensional topology, the D(2)-problem and the realization problem, F.E.A. Johnson develops general methods and provides complete solutions in some instances. His book is suitable for graduate students wanting to learn low-dimensional homotopy theory as well as established researchers in the field.
- Gives complete solution to certain problems and provides general methods
- Author writes with an eye on the wider context
- Ideal for students entering into research
