Using techniques from homological group theory, the theory of 3-manifolds and topological surgery, infrasolvmanifolds are characterized up to homeomorphism, and surface bundles are characterized up to simple homotopy equivalence. Non-orientable cases are also considered wherever possible, and in the final chapter the results obtained earlier are applied to 2-knots and complex analytic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813874024599,"sku":"9780521467780","price":6451.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521467780.webp?v=1778339128","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-algebraic-characterization-of-geometric-4-manifolds-9780521467780","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
