Casson's Invariant for Oriented Homology Three-Spheres : : An Exposition. (MN-36) / / Selman Akbulut, John D. McCarthy.
In the spring of 1985, A. Casson announced an interesting invariant of homology 3-spheres via constructions on representation spaces. This invariant generalizes the Rohlin invariant and gives surprising corollaries in low-dimensional topology. In the fall of that same year, Selman Akbulut and John M...
