An Introduction to Algebraic Surgery
by Andrew Ranicki
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 82
Description:
Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory investigates the homotopy types of manifolds, using a combination of algebra and topology. It is the aim of these notes to provide an introduction to the more algebraic aspects of the theory (such as the Wall surgery obstruction groups), without losing sight of the geometric motivation.

Residues and Dualityby Robin Hartshorne - Springer
The main purpose of these notes is to prove a duality theorem for cohomology of quasi-coherent sheaves, with respect to a proper morphism of locally noetherian preschemes. Various such theorems are already known. Typical is the duality theorem ...

Equivariant Stable Homotopy Theoryby G. Jr. Lewis, J. P. May, M. Steinberger, J. E. McClure - Springer
Our purpose is to establish the foundations of equivariant stable homotopy theory. We shall construct a stable homotopy category of G-spectra,and use it to study equivariant duality, equivariant transfer, the Burnside ring, and related topics.
