Exotic Homology Manifolds
by Frank Quinn, Andrew Ranicki
2006
Number of pages: 158
Description:
Homology manifolds were developed in the first half of the 20th century to give a precise setting for Poincare's ideas on duality. Exotic homology manifolds are investigated using algebraic and geometric methods. This volume is the proceedings of the Mini-Workshop Exotic Homology manifolds held at Oberwolfach 2003.

CDBooK: Introduction to Vassiliev Knot invariantsby S.Chmutov, S.Duzhin, J.Mostovoy - Ohio State Universit
An introduction to the theory of finite type (Vassiliev) knot invariants, with a stress on its combinatorial aspects. Written for readers with no background in this area, and we care more about the basic notions than about more advanced material.
