Combinatorial and Gauge Theoretical Methods in Low Dimensional Topology and Geometry

Combinatorial and Gauge Theoretical Methods in Low Dimensional Topology and Geometry

The fascinating world of 4-dimensional topology has produced incredible results in the last 30 years. There is a stream of big breakthroughs which include the solution of Thom’s conjecture, the triangulation conjecture and the lightbulb theorem to name a few. Moreover, very fundamental questions, like the smooth Poincaré conjecture in dimension 4 or the existence of fake complex projective planes are still wide open.
