图书简介
Compactness in topology and finite generation in algebra are nice properties to start with. However, the study of compact spaces leads naturally to non-compact spaces and infinitely generated chain complexes; a classical example is the theory of covering spaces. In handling non-compact spaces we must take into account the infinity behaviour of such spaces. This necessitates modifying the usual topological and algebraic cate­ gories to obtain proper categories in which objects are equipped with a topologized infinity and in which morphisms are compatible with the topology at infinity. The origins of proper (topological) category theory go back to 1923, when Kere­ kjart6 [VT] established the classification of non-compact surfaces by adding to orien­ tability and genus a new invariant, consisting of a set of ideal points at infinity. Later, Freudenthal [ETR] gave a rigorous treatment of the topology of ideal points by introducing the space of ends of a non-compact space. In spite of its early ap­ pearance, proper category theory was not recognized as a distinct area of topology until the late 1960’s with the work of Siebenmann [OFB], [IS], [DES] on non-compact manifolds.
