Kuo-Tsai Chen (1923-1987) is best known to the mathematics communityfor his work on iterated integrals and power series connections inconjunction with his research on the cohomology of loop spaces. Hiswork is intimately related to the theory of minimal models asdeveloped by Dennis Sullivan, whose own work was in part inspired bythe research of Chen.An outstanding and original mathematician, Chen's work falls naturallyinto three periods: his early work on group theory and links in thethree sphere; his subsequent work on formal differential equations,which gradually developed into his most powerful and important work;and his work on iterated integrals and homotopy theory, which occupiedhim for the last twenty years of his life. The goal of Chen'siterated integrals program, which is a de Rham theory for path spaces,was to study the interaction of topology and analysis through pathintegration.The present volume is a comprehensive collection of Chen'smathematical publications preceded by an article, "The Life and Workof Kuo-Tsai Chen," placing his work and research interests into theirproper context and demonstrating the power and scope of hisinfluence.
