Description

Book Synopsis
This volume contains a collection of papers based on lectures delivered by distinguished mathematicians at Clay Mathematics Institute events over the past few years. It is intended to be the first in an occasional series of volumes of CMI lectures. Although not explicitly linked, the topics in this inaugural volume have a common flavour and a common appeal to all who are interested in recent developments in geometry. They are intended to be accessible to all who work in this general area, regardless of their own particular research interests.

Table of Contents
1: Edward Witten: Two Lectures On The Jones Polynomial and Khovanov Homology 2: Marc Lackenby: Elementary Knot Theory 3: Martin R. Bridson: Cube Complexes, Subgroups of Mapping Class Groups, and Nilpotent Genus 4: Helmut Hofer: Polyfolds and Fredholm Theory 5: Rahul Pandharipande: Maps, Sheaves and K3 Surfaces
