Introduction to 3-Manifolds Hardback
by Jennifer Schultens
Part of the Graduate Studies in Mathematics series
Hardback
Description
This book grew out of a graduate course on 3-manifolds and is intended for a mathematically experienced audience that is new to low-dimensional topology.
The exposition begins with the definition of a manifold, explores possible additional structures on manifolds, discusses the classification of surfaces, introduces key foundational results for 3-manifolds, and provides an overview of knot theory.
It then continues with more specialised topics by briefly considering triangulations of 3-manifolds, normal surface theory, and Heegaard splittings.
The book finishes with a discussion of topics relevant to viewing 3-manifolds via the curve complex.
With about 250 figures and more than 200 exercises, this book can serve as an excellent overview and starting point for the study of 3-manifolds.
