This volume contains ten original papers written by leading experts in various areas of low-dimensional topology. The topics covered here are among those showing the most rapid progress in topology today: knots and links, three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, conformally flat structures on three-manifolds, Floer homology, and the geometry and topology of four-manifolds. Offering both original results and up-to-date survey papers, Aspects of Low Dimensional Manifolds will interest mathematicians, physicists, graduate students, and others seeking a good introduction to the field.
