Peter May

J. Peter May is a homotopy theorist at the University of Chicago, inventor of operads as a technique for studying infinite loop spaces and spectra. Peter May’s work makes extensive use of enriched- and model-category theory as power tools in algebraic topology/homotopy theory, notably in discussion of highly structured spectra in MMSS00‘s Model categories of diagram spectra (for exposition see Introduction to Stable homotopy theory – 1-2), or in the discussion of genuine equivariant spectra or..
