Description for Smooth Four-Manifolds and Complex Surfaces (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge / A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Applies the techniques of gauge theory to study the smooth classification of compact complex surfaces. This book represents a marriage of the techniques of algebraic geometry and 4-manifold topology and gives an exposition of some of the main themes in this area of research. Series: Ergebnisse der Mathematik und Ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3 Folge /A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics. Num Pages: 532 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMW; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 30. Weight in Grams: 923.
In 1961 Smale established the generalized Poincare Conjecture in dimensions greater than or equal to 5 [129] and proceeded to prove the h-cobordism theorem [130]. This result inaugurated a major effort to classify all possible smooth and topological structures on manifolds of dimension at least 5. By the mid 1970's the main outlines of this theory were complete, and explicit answers (especially concerning simply connected manifolds) as well as general qualitative results had been obtained. As an example of such a qualitative result, a closed, simply connected manifold of dimension 2: 5 is determined up to finitely many diffeomorphism possibilities ... Read more
