Note

"The University of Zagreb sponsored a Postgraduate School and Conference on Geometric Topology and Shape Theory at the Interuniversity Centre of Postgraduate studies"--Foreword

This was the 3rd such school and conference held at the Centre and the two previous ones were held in 1976 and 1981

Description and Table of Contents

Description

The aim of this international conference the third of its type was to survey recent developments in Geometric Topology and Shape Theory with an emphasis on their interaction. The volume contains original research papers and carefully selected survey of currently active areas. The main topics and themes represented by the papers of this volume include decomposition theory, cell-like mappings and CE-equivalent compacta, covering dimension versus cohomological dimension, ANR's and LCn-compacta, homology manifolds, embeddings of continua into manifolds, complement theorems in shape theory, approximate fibrations and shape fibrations, fibered shape, exact homologies and strong shape theory.
