Description:
This book is an introduction to the topological rigidity theorem for compact non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds.

This is the first treatment of the applications of the lower K- and L-groups to the topology of manifolds such as Euclidean spaces, via Whitehead torsion and the Wall finiteness and surgery obstructions. Only elementary constructions are used.

Book cover: An Introduction to Algebraic SurgeryAn Introduction to Algebraic Surgery
by - arXiv
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.
