An Elementary Illustrated Introduction to Simplicial Sets
by Greg Friedman
Publisher: arXiv.org 2016
Number of pages: 58
Description:
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to students familiar with just the fundamentals of algebraic topology.

The Homology of Iterated Loop Spaces
by F. R. Cohen, T. J. Lada, P. J. May - Springer
A thorough treatment of homology operations and of their application to the calculation of the homologies of various spaces. The book studies an up to homotopy notion of an algebra over a monad and its role in the theory of iterated loop spaces.

Introduction to Topological Groups
by Dikran Dikranjan - UCM
These notes provide a brief introduction to topological groups with a special emphasis on Pontryaginvan Kampen's duality theorem for locally compact abelian groups. We give a completely self-contained elementary proof of the theorem.
