Classical Aspherical Manifolds (Cbms Regional Conference Series in Mathematics)

By F. Thomas Farrell and L. Edwin Jones

Aspherical manifolds - those whose universal covers are contractible - arise classically in many areas of mathematics. They occur in Lie group theory as certain double coset spaces and in synthetic geometry as the space forms preserving the geometry.
