Exotic Homology Manifolds by Frank Quinn, Andrew Ranicki

Exotic Homology Manifolds
by


Number of pages: 158

Description:
Homology manifolds were developed in the first half of the 20th century to give a precise setting for Poincare's ideas on duality. Exotic homology manifolds are investigated using algebraic and geometric methods. This volume is the proceedings of the Mini-Workshop Exotic Homology manifolds held at Oberwolfach 2003.

Book cover: Algebraic and Geometric SurgeryAlgebraic and Geometric Surgery
by - Oxford University Press
Surgery theory is the standard method for the classification of high-dimensional manifolds, where high means 5 or more. This book aims to be an entry point to surgery theory for a reader who already has some background in topology.
