This volume contains the proceedings of the Stanford Symposium on
Algebraic Topology: Applications and New Directions, held from July
23-27, 2012, at Stanford University, Stanford, California. The
symposium was held in honor of Gunnar Carlsson, Ralph Cohen and Ib
Madsen, who celebrated their 60th and 70th birthdays that year. It
showcased current research in Algebraic Topology reflecting the
celebrants' broad interests and profound influence on the subject.
The topics varied broadly from stable equivariant homotopy theory
to persistent homology and application in data analysis, covering
topological aspects of quantum physics such as string topology and
geometric quantization, examining homology stability in algebraic
and geometric contexts, including algebraic $K$-theory and the
theory of operads.
