Topology of 4-Manifolds

This book presents the classical theorems about simply connected smooth 4-manifolds: intersection forms and homotopy type, oriented and spin bordism, the index theorem, Wall''s diffeomorphisms and h-cobordism, and Rohlin''s theorem. Most of the proofs are new or are returbishings of post proofs; all are geometric and make us of handlebody theory. There is a new proof of Rohlin''s theorem using spi...
