DESCRIPTION:Waldhausen&#39\;s introduction of A-theory of spaces revolutio
 nized the early study of pseudo-isotopy theory. Waldhausen proved that the
  A-theory of a manifold splits as its suspension spectrum and a factor Wh(
 M) whose first delooping is the space of stable h-cobordisms\, and its sec
 ond delooping is the space of stable pseudo-isotopies. I will describe a j
 oint project with C. Malkiewich aimed at telling the equivariant story if 
 one starts with a manifold M with group action by a finite group G.
