- Title: Groups of Homotopy spheres
Abstract of the first talk on `Groups of homotopy spheres':
In a land-mark paper in 1956, J. Milnor showed that there are non standard differential structures on the 7-dimensional sphere. Six years later along with Kervaire, he introduced an abelian group structure on the set of equivalence classes of smooth structures on spheres of all dimension and determined these groups in several cases. We shall present some of the salient features of this work.
