Gauge Theory And The Topology Of Four-Manifolds

Offers a perspective on how 4-manifold theory was studied before the discovery of modern-day Seiberg-Witten theory. This book predates Donaldson's applications of the subject to 4-manifold topology, where the central concern was the geometry of the moduli space.
