The first part studies the homotopy theoretical tools of infinite loop spaces, the Group Completion Theorem and the plus construction. The second part is a survey about the development of the problem from the original formulation of the conjecture to the Generalized Madsen-Weiss Theorem and its proof.application/pdfspaDerechos reservados - Universidad Nacional de Colombiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/5 Ciencias naturales y matemáticas / Science51 Matemáticas / MathematicsOn the topological proof of the Mumford conjectureTrabajo de grado - Maestríahttp://bdigital.unal.edu.co/64851/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMumford’s conjectureGroup completionPlus constructionMadsen-Weiss theoremInfinite loop spacesConjetura de MumfordTeorema de Madsen-WeissEspacios de bucle infinitos
