The Geometry of Iterated Loop Spaces
by J. P. May
Publisher: Springer 1972
ISBN/ASIN: 3540059040
ISBN-13: 9783540059042
Number of pages: 175
Description:
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to the study of iterated loop spaces. Our goal is to develop a simple and coherent theory which encompasses most of the known results about such spaces. We begin with some history and a description of the desiderata of such a theory.
