This book presents a coherent account of the current status of
etale homotopy theory, a topological theory introduced into
abstract algebraic geometry by M. Artin and B. Mazur. Eric M.
Friedlander presents many of his own applications of this theory to
algebraic topology, finite Chevalley groups, and algebraic
geometry. Of particular interest are the discussions concerning the
Adams Conjecture, K-theories of finite fields, and Poincare
duality. Because these applications have required repeated
modifications of the original formulation of etale homotopy theory,
the author provides a new treatment of the foundations which is
more general and more precise than previous versions. One purpose
of this book is to offer the basic techniques and results of etale
homotopy theory to topologists and algebraic geometers who may then
apply the theory in their own work. With a view to such future
applications, the author has introduced a number of new
constructions (function complexes, relative homology and
cohomology, generalized cohomology) which have immediately proved
applicable to algebraic K-theory.
