Description for 4-Manifolds (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Topology and invariants of smooth 4-manifolds are presented in a self-contained way. In particular handlebodies of 4-manifolds, symplectic and stein structures, and seiberg-witten invariants are discussed. Series: Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 288 pages, 100. BIC Classification: PBP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 164 x 241 x 19. Weight in Grams: 610.
This book presents the topology of smooth 4-manifolds in an intuitive self-contained way, developed over a number of years by Professor Akbulut. The text is aimed at graduate students and focuses on the teaching and learning of the subject, giving a direct approach to constructions and theorems which are supplemented by exercises to help the reader work through the details not covered in the proofs. The book contains a hundred colour illustrations to demonstrate the ideas rather than providing long-winded and potentially unclear explanations. Key results have been selected that relate to the material discussed and the author ... Read more

About Selman Akbulut
Selman Akbulut is a Turkish mathematician and a Professor at Michigan State University. His research is in topology and he has specifically worked on handlebody theory, low-dimensional manifolds, symplectic topology and G2 manifolds with success in developing 4-dimensional handlebody techniques, settling conjectures and solving problems.
Reviews for 4-Manifolds (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
This book is about the art of proving theorems about 4-manifolds by mental visualization and direct interaction with their depictions. Its existence is justifed by the need for an updated treatment...and the need to set out a unifed presentation of the tools and knowledge which have proved most useful over the relatively unique research history of its author.
