This volume contains research papers and survey articles written
by Beno Eckmann from 1941 to 1986. The aim of the compilation is to
provide a general view of the breadth of Eckmann s mathematical
work. His influence was particularly strong in the development of
many subfields of topology and algebra, where he repeatedly pointed
out close, and often surprising, connections between them and other
areas. The surveys are exemplary in terms of how they make
difficult mathematical ideas easily comprehensible and accessible
even to non-specialists. The topics treated here can be classified
into the following, not entirely unrelated areas: algebraic
topology (homotopy and homology theory), algebra, group theory and
differential geometry. Beno Eckmann was Professor of Mathematics at
the University of Lausanne, 1942-48, and Principal of the Institute
for Mathematical Research at the ETH Zurich, 1964-84, where he was
therefore an emeritus professor."
