Equivariant Stable Homotopy Theory and the Kervaire Invariant Problem

by Michael A Hill, Michael J Hopkins, Douglas C Ravenel, et al.

The long-standing Kervaire invariant problem in homotopy theory arose from geometric and differential topology in the 1960s and was quickly recognised as one of the most important problems in the field. In 2009 the authors of this book announced a solution to the problem, which was published to wide acclaim in a landmark Annals of Mathematics paper. The proof is long and involved, using many sophisticated tools of modern (equivariant) stable homotopy...
