Foliations and the Geometry of 3-manifolds
by Danny Calegari
Publisher: Oxford University Press 2007
ISBN/ASIN: 0198570082
ISBN-13: 9780198570080
Number of pages: 371
Description:
The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of the "pseudo-Anosov" theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of surface automorphisms, and reveals an intimate connection between dynamics, geometry and topology in 3 dimensions.

An Introduction to High Dimensional Knots
by Eiji Ogasa - arXiv
This is an introductory article on high dimensional knots for the beginners. Is there a nontrivial high dimensional knot? We first answer this question. We explain local moves on high dimensional knots and the projections of high dimensional knots.

Diffeomorphisms of Elliptic 3-Manifolds
by S. Hong, J. Kalliongis, D. McCullough, J. H. Rubinstein - arXiv
The elliptic 3-manifolds are the closed 3-manifolds that admit a Riemannian metric of constant positive curvature. For any elliptic 3-manifold M, the inclusion from the isometry group of M to the diffeomorphism group of M is a homotopy equivalence.

Geometric Topology: Localization, Periodicity and Galois Symmetry
by Dennis Sullivan - Springer
In 1970, Sullivan circulated this set of notes introducing localization and completion of topological spaces to homotopy theory, and other important concepts. The notes remain worth reading for the fresh picture they provide for geometric topology.
