The authors construct a highly connected map from \mathcal{S}(M) to a concoction of algebraic L-theory and algebraic K-theory spaces associated with M. The construction refines the well-known surgery theoretic analysis of the block structure space of M in terms of L-theory UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/orpp/detail.action?docID=5295301 ER -
