About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is concerned with homotopy theoretical approaches to the study of the Arf-Kervaire invariant one problem … . The last chapter is an extra one in which some current themes related to the subject are described. … The bibliography contains 297 titles. … this book an excellent guide to the classical problem above.” (Haruo Minami, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1169, 2009)
“This book provides a clean, self-contained treatment of a long-standing piece of algebraic topology: the Kervaire invariant one problem, and the reviewer found it a very interesting and helpful reference. … The book itself is a very pleasant read. … The reviewer found the opening quotations for each chapter especially droll. … Finally, the chapter (and book) ends with some suggestions for further reading.” (Michael A. Hill, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 d)
