Equivariant Degree Theory

by Jorge Ize and Alfonso Vignoli

This book presents a new degree theory for maps which commute with a group of symmetries. This degree is no longer a single integer but an element of the group of equivariant homotopy classes of maps between two spheres and depends on the orbit types of the spaces.
