Quantum invariants of knots and 3-manifolds. 3rd edition. (English) Zbl 1346.57002
de Gruyter Studies in Mathematics 18. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter (ISBN 978-3-11-044266-3/hbk; 978-3-11-043522-1/ebook). xii, 596 p. (2016).
Apart from a few new prefatory comments, this third edition of the author’s classic 1994 monograph just updates its comprehensive bibliography with references to post-2009 work of the author, Alagic, Alexandrov, Anderson, Beliakova, Bunting, Cai, Carfora, Chen, Costantino, Fuchs, Funar, Geer, Geiller, Gelea, Gilmer, Koda, Koenig, Marathe, Marche, Martelli, Ng, Okazaki, Rose, Staic, Tagami, Tsumura, Wong and their collaborators. It is still the latest and greatest go-to source for information on quantum field theories in three dimensions (having nothing to say about the Poincaré conjecture).
