Table of Contents1 Homology 3-Spheres.- 2 Rokhlin Invariant.- 3 Casson Invariant.- 4 Invariants of Walker and Lescop.- 5 Casson Invariant and Gauge Theory.- 6 Instanton Floer Homology.- 7 The Homology Cobordism Group.- References.ReviewsFrom the reviews: <p> The book can be considered as a fundamental monograph on invariants of homology 3-spheres. Let us mention that while the topic may seem rather specialised, these investigations have proved to be extremely useful in the manifold topologya ] [...] Obviously, the book is designed for specialists in the field who will find there a practically complete survey of results and methods. On the other hand, it is written in such a clear style that I would like to recommend it strongly to postgraduate students starting to make themselves familiar with the field. The book will help them to learn basic notions and will gradually introduce them into contemporary research. [a ]] <p>European Mathematical Society Newsletter, Dec. 2004, p. 44 <p> This book is an excellent survey on invariants of homology 3-spheres.
