Geometric Topology: Localization, Periodicity and Galois Symmetry
by Dennis Sullivan
Publisher: Springer 2005
ISBN/ASIN: 140203511X
ISBN-13: 9781402035111
Number of pages: 296
Description:
In 1970, Sullivan circulated a set of notes introducing localization and completion of topological spaces to homotopy theory, and other important concepts that have had a major influence on the development of topology. The notes remain worth reading for the boldness of their ideas, the clear mastery of available structure they command, and the fresh picture they provide for geometric topology.

Knot Invariants and Higher Representation Theory
by Ben Webster - arXiv
We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl_2 and sl_3 and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel...

Four-manifolds, Geometries and Knots
by Jonathan Hillman - arXiv
The goal of the book is to characterize algebraically the closed 4-manifolds that fibre nontrivially or admit geometries in the sense of Thurston, or which are obtained by surgery on 2-knots, and to provide a reference for the topology of such knots.
