Some mathematical influences of Stewart Priddy. (English) Zbl 1032.55002

Davis, Donald M. (ed.) et al., Recent progress in homotopy theory. Proceedings of a conference, Baltimore, MD, USA, March 17-27, 2000. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS). Contemp. Math. 293, 15-31 (2002).
From the author’s abstract: ”The purpose of this paper is to review some selected works of Steward Priddy. Unlike usual reviews of this kind, we emphasize more on their later influences and so influenced works are also mentioned”. In the following paragraphs there are discussed: Koszul resolutions, the Kahn-Priddy Theorem, the uniqueness of BSO, homology of classical groups, Steinberg idempotent, Whitehead conjecture, complete stable splitting of BG and stable homotopy classificaction of BG.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 0988.00068].
