Low-Dimensional Topology

Klappentext This volume consists of the proceedings of a conference held at the University College of North Wales in July of 1979. Zusammenfassung This volume consists of the proceedings of a conference held at the University College of North Wales (Bangor) in July of 1979. It assembles research papers which reflect diverse currents in low-dimensional topology. The topology of 3-manifolds! hyperbolic geometry and knot theory emerge as major themes.
