Basic Bundle Theory and K-Cohomology Invariants : With contributions by Siegfried Echterhoff, Stefan Fredenhagen and Bernhard Krötz

Based on several recent courses given to mathematical physics students, this volume is an introduction to bundle theory with the aim to provide newcomers to the field with solid foundations in topological K-theory. A fundamental theme, emphasized in the book, centers around the gluing of local bundl...
