Geometry of Low-Dimensional Manifolds, Vol. 2: Symplectic Manifolds and Jones-Witten Theory

These volumes are based on lecture courses and seminars given at the LMS Durham Symposium on the geometry of low-dimensional manifolds. This area has been one of intense research recently, with major breakthroughs that have illuminated the way a number of different subjects (topology, differential and algebraic geometry and mathematical physics) interact.
