This monograph gives framed link pictures of the Kummer surface (= [italic]V₄) and some Dolgachev surfaces. The emphasis here is to use the elliptic pencil structure to describe the framed links. This approach is particularly convenient to see the change of handlebody structures…
This book presents, in a unifying perspective, the topics related to N=2 supersymmetry in two dimensions. Beginning with the Kähler structure of D=4 supergravity Lagrangians, through the analysis of string compactifications on Calabi-Yau manifolds, one reaches the heart of the m…

"This book offers a panorama of the topology of simply-connected smooth manifolds of dimension four. Dimension four is unlike any other dimension; it is large enough to have room for wild things to happen, but small enough so that there is no room to undo the wildness. For examp…
