Geometry of Low-Dimensional Manifolds: Symplectic Manifolds and Jones-Witten Theory:Volume 2

ISBN: 9780521400015 出版年：1991 页码：260 S K Donaldson C B Thomas Cambridge University Press

This volume is based on lecture courses and seminars given at the LMS Durham Symposium on the geometry of low-dimensional manifolds. This area has been one of intense research recently, with major breakthroughs that have illuminated the way a number of different subjects interact (for example: topology, differential and algebraic geometry and mathematical physics). The workshop brought together a number of distinguished figures to give lecture courses and seminars in these subjects; the volume that has resulted is the only expository source for much of the material, and will be essential for all research workers in geometry and mathematical physics.
