6	The Arithmetic of Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds more books like this by Colin M MacLachlan, Alan W Reid add to wishlist For the past 25 years, the Geometrization Program of Thurston has been a driving force for research in 3-manifold topology. This has inspired a surge of activity investigating hyperbolic 3-manifolds (and Kleinian groups), as these manifolds form the largest and least well- understood class of compact 3-manifolds. Familiar and new tools from ... see all copies from $25.19! new only from $37.00! \| first editions

It is well known that any closed oriented 3-manifold can be obtained by surgery on a framed link in S3. In "Global Surgery Formula for the Casson-Walker Invariant", a function F of framed links in S3 is described, and it is proven that F consistently defines an invariant, lamda (l), of ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $19.95! \| first editions \| SVS
12 view cover	Chern-Simons Theory, Matrix Models, and Topological Strings more books like this by Marcos Marino add to wishlist In recent years, the old idea that gauge theories and string theories are equivalent has been implemented and developed in various ways, and there are by now various models where the string theory / gauge theory correspondence is at work. One of the most important examples of this correspondence relates Chern-Simons theory, a topological gauge ... see all copies from $84.84! new only from $117.30! \| first editions \| SVS
13 view cover	Casson's Invariant for Oriented Homology 3-Spheres: An Exposition more books like this by Selman Akbulut, Selman Akbulat, John D McCarthy add to wishlist In the spring of 1985, A. Casson announced an interesting invariant of homology 3-spheres via constructions on representation spaces. This invariant generalizes the Rohlin invariant and gives surprising corollaries in low-dimensional topology. In the fall of that same year, Selman Akbulut and John McCarthy held a seminar on this invariant. These ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $9.72! \| first editions
14 view cover	3-manifolds more books like this by John Hempel add to wishlist For many years, John Hempel's book has been a standard text on the topology of 3-manifolds. Even though the field has grown tremendously, the book remains one of the best and most popular introductions to the subject. The theme of this book is the role of the fundamental group in determining the topology of a given 3-manifold. The essential ideas ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $27.00!
15 view cover	Monopoles and Three-Manifolds more books like this by Peter Kronheimer, Tomasz Mrowka add to wishlist Originating with Andreas Floer in the 1980s, Floer homology has proved to be an effective tool in tackling many important problems in three- and four-dimensional geometry, and topology.
