DPhil Thesis: `Some problems in algebraic topology: a study of function space,
function complexes, and FD-complexes' Submitted December, 1961, 140 pages.
Complete thesis 154 pages The final Appendix was recalled from the exam and superceded
by my first two papers.
filtered spaces, crossed complexes, cubical homotopy groupoids by Ronald Brown,
Philip J. Higgins, Rafael Sivera (description
of new book: xxxv+668 pages, full pdf downloadable as hyperref
e-book; EMS Tract vol 15,
ISBN 978-3-13719-083-8, August 2011).
This gives a new foundation for algebraic
topology, relying on a Seifert-van Kampen Theorem for the fundamental
crossed complex of a filtered space, which allows new proofs of some classical
theorems such as the Relative Hurewicz Theorem; it also allows new calculations
of some nonabelian second relative homotopy
groups, not available by traditional methods of singular homology
and simplicial approximation. Indeed, it allows computation of some homotopy
2-types, based on calculations with crossed modules. Dealing with algebraic
models of homotopy types requires a different approach to algebraic topology
than the classical one.
