This review is from: Introduction to Combinatorial Torsions (Paperback)
This short book is a good place to start learning about the theory of Reidemeister torsions. Masterfully written by one of the leading experts on the subject, it follows the standard of exposition set by Milnor in his famous survey on this subject 40 years ago. The book is very easy to read, the necessary background is covered economically, but in details. You can find here many results that received the first treatment in book form and some classical results with illuminating explainations. The last chapter briefly indicates recent developments in connection with Seiberg-Witten invariants of 3-manifolds.The book is mainly an introduction and concerns mostly with combinatorial manifolds and knot theory. As the author stated, many other aspects of the theory (e.g. the analytical theory) are left out. |
