High-dimensional Knot Theory: Algebraic Surgery in Codimension 2

by Andrew Ranicki

This book explores the application of the author's algebraic theory of surgery to provide a unified treatment of the invariants of codimension 2 embeddings, generalizing the Alexander polynomials and Seifert forms of classical knot theory. This work brings together many results that were scattered throughout the research literature into a single framework.
