The memoir presents a systematic study of rational S1-equivariant cohomology theories, and a complete algebraic model for them. It provides a classification of such cohomology theories in simple algebraic terms and a practical means of calculation. The power of the model is illustrated by analysis of the Segal conjecture, the behaviour of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, the structure of S1-equivariant K-theory, and the rational behaviour of cyclotomic spectra and the topological cyclic homology construction.

This book is a foundational piece of work in stable homotopy theory and in the theory of transformation groups. It may be roughly divided into two parts. The first part deals with foundations of (equivariant) stable homotopy theory. A workable category of CW-spectra is developed. The foundations are such that an action of a compact Lie group is considered throughout, and spectra allow desuspension by arbitrary representations. But even if the reader forgets about group actions, he will find many details of the theory worked out for the first time. More subtle constructions like smash products, function spectra, change of group isomorphisms, fixed point and orbit spectra are treated. While it is impossible to survey properly the material which is covered in the book, it does boast these general features: (i) a thorough and reliable presentation of the foundations of the theory; (ii) a large number of basic results, principal applications, and fundamental techniques presented for the first time in a coherent theory, unifying numerous treatments of special cases in the literature.

This volume introduces equivariant homotopy, homology, and cohomology theory, along with various related topics in modern algebraic topology. It explains the main ideas behind some of the most striking recent advances in the subject. The works begins with a development of the equivariant algebraic topology of spaces culminating in a discussion of the Sullivan conjecture that emphasizes its relationship with classical Smith theory. The book then introduces equivariant stable homotopy theory, the equivariant stable homotopy category, and the most important examples of equivariant cohomology theories. The basic machinery that is needed to make serious use of equivariant stable homotopy theory is presented next, along with discussions of the Segal conjecture and generalized Tate cohomology. Finally, the book gives an introduction to "brave new algebra", the study of point-set level algebraic structures on spectra and its equivariant applications. Emphasis is placed on equivariant complex cobordism, and related results on that topic are presented in detail.

The memoir presents a systematic study of rational $S^1$-equivariant cohomology theories, and a complete algebraic model for them. It provides a classification of such cohomology theories in simple algebraic terms and a practical means of calculation. The power of the model is illustrated by analysis of the Segal conjecture, the behaviour of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, the structure of $S^1$-equivariant $K$-theory, and the rational behaviour of cyclotomic spectra and the topological cyclic homology construction.

A comprehensive, self-contained approach to global equivariant homotopy theory, with many detailed examples and sample calculations.

A complete and definitive account of the authors' resolution of the Kervaire invariant problem in stable homotopy theory.

Asymptotics are built for the solutions $y_j(x, \lambda)$, $y_j DEGREES{(k)}(0, \lambda)=\delta_{j\, n-k}$, $0\le j, k+1\le n$ of the equation $L(y)=\lambda p(x)y, \quad x\in [0,1], $ where $L(y)$ is a linear differential operator of whatever order $n\ge 2$ and $p(x)$ is assumed to possess a finite number of turning points. The established asymptotics are afterwards applied to the study of: 1) the existence of infinite eigenvalue sequences for various multipoint boundary problems posed on $L(y)=\lambda p(x)y, \quad x\in [0,1], $, especially as $n=2$ and $n=3$ (let us be aware that the same method can be successfully applied on many occasions in case $n>3$ too) and 2) asymptotical distribution of the corresponding eigenvalue sequences on the
