Global Surgery Formula for the Casson-Walker Invariant. (AM-140), Volume 140 / / Christine Lescop.

This book presents a new result in 3-dimensional topology. It is well known that any closed oriented 3-manifold can be obtained by surgery on a framed link in S 3. In Global Surgery Formula for the Casson-Walker Invariant, a function F of framed links in S 3 is described, and it is proven that F con...
