Book Description:
|
Provides an introductory overview of how to use Ricci flow and Ricci flow with surgery to establish the Poincaré Conjecture and the more general Geometrization Conjecture for 3-dimensional manifolds. It presents the major geometric and analytic results and themes of the subject without weighing down the presentation with too many details, and can be read as an introduction to more complete treatments of the same material.
