Product Description: In the Fall of 1975 we started a joint project with the ultimate goal of topo­ logically classifying real algebraic sets. This has been a long happy collaboration (c.f., [K2)). In 1985 while visiting M.S.R.1. we organized and presented our classification results up to that point in the M...read more

Product Description: This volume features lively and engaging articles from the lecturers and the participants of the 10th Gökova Geometry-Topology Conference, held on the shores of Gökova Bay, Turkey, in May of 2003. At this conference there were a number of interesting talks on the Ricci-flow equation (related to Perelman's exciting work on Hamilton's program), as well as other talks on various aspects of gauge theory, calibrated manifolds, crepant resolutions, symplectic and contact geometry, group actions, real algebraic geometry and low dimensional manifolds...read more

Product Description: This book contains the proceedings of the Real Algebraic Geometry-Topology Conference, held at Michigan State University in December 1993. Presented here are recent results and discussions of new ideas pertaining to such topics as resolution theorems, algebraic structures, topology of nonsingular real algebraic sets, and the distribution of real algebraic sets in projective space...read more

Product Description: 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...read more
