Infos

The articles in this volume are invited papers from the Marcus Wallenberg symposium and focus on research topics that bridge the gap between analysis, geometry, and topology. The encounters between these three fields are widespread and often provide impetus for major breakthroughs in applications. Topics include new developments in low dimensional topology related to invariants of links and three and four manifolds; Perelman's spectacular proof of the Poincare conjecture; and the recent advances made in algebraic, complex, symplectic, and tropical geometry.

The contributions in this volume-dedicated to the work and mathematical interests of Oleg Viro on the occasion of his 60th birthday-are invited papers from the Marcus Wallenberg symposium and focus on research topics that bridge the gap among analysis, geometry, and topology. The encounters among these three fields are widespread and often provide impetus for major breakthroughs in applications.Topics covered include new developments in low-dimensional topology related to invariants of links and three- and four-dimensional manifolds and the recent advances made in algebraic, complex, symplectic, and tropical geometry.This collection is intended for graduate students and researchers in analysis, geometry, and topology, especially those whose area of study applies to two or more of these fields.
