商品簡介
Saveliev (mathematics, U. of Miami-Coral Gables, Florida) introduces second-year graduate students to the theory of three-dimensional manifolds and its role in the modern four-dimensional topology and gauge theory. He assumes only familiarity with the basic concepts of topology, including the fundamental group, the (co)homology theory of manifolds, and the Poincare duality. Between the introductory first section and the final section on the Casson invariant, a second section is devoted to Rohlin's invariant and its properties.
