Sommario/riassunto

Since its introduction by Friedhelm Waldhausen in the 1970's, the algebraic K-theory of spaces has been recognized as the main tool for studying parametrized phenomena in the theory of manifolds. However, a full proof of the equivalence relating the two areas has not appeared until now. This book presents such a proof, essentially completing Waldhausen's program from more than thirty years ago. The main result is a stable parametrized h-cobordism theorem, derived from a homotopy equivalence between a space of PL h-cobordisms on a space X and the classifying space of a category of simple maps of spaces having X as deformation retract. The smooth and topological results then follow by smoothing and triangulation theory. The proof has two main parts. The essence of the first part is a "desingularization," improving arbitrary finite simplicial sets to polyhedra. The second part compares polyhedra with PL manifolds by a thickening procedure. Many of the techniques and results developed



should be useful in other connections.

Sommario/riassunto

Le présent volume regroupe deux réflexions collectives. La première est issue de la table ronde organisée par Margaret Mullett lors du XXe Congrès international des Etudes byzantines, tenu à Paris du 19 au 25 août 2001. Les débats ont tenté d’aborder le monachisme byzantin par de nouveaux moyens et d’appréhender la place décisive que les moines occupent à toutes les époques dans la société byzantine.  La seconde, issue d’un séminaire tenu à l’université Paris I, étudie le second iconoclasme et ses suites. Cette période dite abusivement iconoclaste - abusivement, parce qu’une telle appellation pourrait réduire la perspective d’étude - est celle du rétablissement de l’Empire byzantin après le choc des invasions. Elle demande de nombreuses études dans tous les champs de la recherche historique pour livrer une partie de sa logique, notamment de 815 à 843 et dans le temps qui suit le rétablissement des Images en 843.
