More DescriptionThis monograph aims to give a thorough exposition of Floer's seminal work during the 1980s from a contemporary viewpoint. The techniques used here are now known to be important for many current areas of research. The author writes with the big picture constantly in mind, reviewing the current state of knowledge and predicting the likely direction of future research. The results described form part of the area known as Donaldson theory. The significance of this work is such that the author was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal for his contribution.
