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

these Volumes Are 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 (topology, Differential And Algebraic Geometry And Mathematical Physics) Interact. 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. vrv. 1.
