They can be generalized using von Neumann algebras and their traces, and applied also to non-compact spaces and infinite groups. These new \u003ci\u003eL\u003c\/i\u003e2-invariants contain very interesting and novel information and can be applied to problems arising in topology, \u003ci\u003eK\u003c\/i\u003e-Theory, differential geometry, non-commutative geometry and spectral theory. It is particularly these interactions with different fields that make \u003ci\u003eL\u003c\/i\u003e2-invariants very powerful and exciting. The book presents a comprehensive introduction to this area of research, as well as its most recent results and developments. It is written in a way which enables the reader to pick out a favourite topic and to find the result she or he is interested in quickly and without being forced to go through other material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-08-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540435662\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-04687-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 595\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378899050636,"sku":"9783540435662","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540435662.jpg?v=1775709700","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540435662","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
