Preface
These notes are based on lectures which I gave at the Forschungsinstitut fur Mathematik, Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule, Zurich in July 1967.
I have attempted to make a
short comprehensible account of the latest results in the field, together with an exposition of the material of an elementary nature. No detailed proofs are given, but there is an indication of basic ideas involved.
Occasionally even the definition of fundamental concepts
may be somewhat vague. the reader.
I hope that this procedure will not bother
Some references are collected in the final section in
order to overcome these shortcomings.
The reader will be able to
find in them a more complete presentation of the results given here, with the exception of some results of §lO, which I intend to discuss in detail in a future publication. It is my pleasure to express my thanks to Professors K. Chandrasekharan and B. Eckmann for their interest in this work, and for inviting me to publish it in the Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics.
I wish also acknowledge the support of the
Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule, Institute for Advanced Study, and the National Science Foundation (NSF-GP 7444, 5803) during the summer and fall of 1967.
