Item Description:The current volume constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference in Algebraic Topology, held on the Isle of Skye, Scotland in June 200l. Many of the the talks at the conference focused on categorical decomposition techniques currently used in algebraic topology, such as Goodwillie's "calculus of functors" and the various approximation techniques that have proved so useful for the study of classifying spaces. The contents represent these, and other themes in algebraic toplogy, as they are being developed by experts in the field. For instance, the homotopy theory of classifying spaces is represented by the articles of Aguade-Broto-Saumell, Davis and Iwase-Mimura. The papers by Betley, Kuhn and Panov-Ray-Vogt deal with general categorical decomposition techniques. The papers of Anton, Goerss-Henn­ Mahowald and Hodgkin-Ostvaer bring us to the forefront of computational homo­ topy theory. Other papers deal with assorted topics of current interest in algebraic topology.

Introduction In his fundamental work [15] Lannes has introduced a functor T defined in the category K (resp. U) of unstable algebras (resp. modules) over the Steenrod algebra which has many important applications in homotopy theory. This functor is, in some sense, the algebraic analogue of the mapping space functor Map(BV, -) for an elementary abelian group V.
