This book presents a new degree theory for maps which commute with a group of symmetries. This degree is no longer a single integer but an element of the group of equivariant homotopy classes of maps between two spheres and depends on the orbit types of the spaces. The authors develop completely the theory and applications of this degree in a self-contained presentation starting with only elementary facts. The first chapter explains the basic tools of representation theory, homotopy theory and differential equations needed in the text. Then the degree is defined and its main abstract properties.

This book describes many new results and extensions of the theory of generalised topological degree for densely defined A-proper operators and presents important applications, particularly to boundary value problems of non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations, which are intractable under any other existing theory. A-proper mappings arise naturally in the solution to an equation in infinite dimensional space via the finite dimensional approximation. This theory subsumes classical theory involving compact vector fields, as well as the more recent theories of condensing vector-fields, strongly monotone and strongly accretive maps. Researchers and graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics and physics who make use of non-linear analysis will find this an important resource for new techniques.
