This work describes a function F of framed links in S3 and it is proven that F consistently defines an invariant, lamda (l), of closed oriented 3-manifolds. l is then expressed in terms of previously known invariants of 3-manifolds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCh. 1Introduction and statements of the results5Ch. 2The Alexander series of a link in a rational homology sphere and some of its properties21Ch. 3Invariance of the surgery formula under a twist homeomorphism35Ch. 4The formula for surgeries starting from rational homology spheres60Ch. 5The invariant [lambda] for 3-manifolds with nonzero rank81Ch. 6Applications and variants of the surgery formula95Appendix: More about the Alexander series117Bibliography147Index149","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526151610711,"sku":"9780691021324","price":63.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691021324.jpg?v=1731863142","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/global-surgery-formula-for-the-cassonwalker-invariant-9780691021324","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
