John Frank Adams When Adams was appointed to a Junior Lecturership at Oxford in 1955, just before he completed his Ph.D., he came more directly under the influence of Whitehead and joined the circle surrounding him, which included M.G. Barratt and V.K.A.M. Gugenheim, among others. He was particularly close to Barratt, who did so much to ...

Adams's most important area of research was in homotopy theory. He developed the algebraic system known as the Adams Spectral Sequence and did pioneering work on cohomology operations in K-theory. In 1965 he introduced the Adams conjecture (now the Adams theorem) into the study of K- theory.
