Exotic Homology Manifolds
by Frank Quinn, Andrew Ranicki
2006
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.

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.

CDBooK: Introduction to Vassiliev Knot invariants
by S.Chmutov, S.Duzhin, J.Mostovoy - Ohio State Universit
An introduction to the theory of finite type (Vassiliev) knot invariants, with a stress on its combinatorial aspects. Written for readers with no background in this area, and we care more about the basic notions than about more advanced material.
