Homology 3sphere is a closed 3dimensional manifold whose homology equals thatof the 3sphere. These objects may look rather special but they have played anoutstanding role in geometric topology for the past fifty years. The book givesa systematic exposition of diverse ideas and methods in the area fromalgebraic topology of manifolds to invariants arising from quantum fieldtheories. The main topics covered are constructions and classification ofhomology 3spheres Rokhlin invariant Casson invariant and its extensionsincluding invariants of Walker and Lescop Herald and Lin invariants of knotsand equivariant Casson invariants Floer homology and gaugetheoreticalinvariants of homology cobordism. Many of the topics covered in the book appearin monograph form for the first time. The book gives a rather broad overview ofideas and methods and provides a comprehensive bibliography. It will beappealing to both graduate students and researchers in mathematics andtheoretical physics. «
