Knot theory is a rapidly developing field of research with many applications not only for
mathematics. The present volume, written by a well-known specialist, gives a complete …

" Minimal surfaces date back to Euler and Lagrange and the beginning of the calculus of
variations. Many of the techniques developed have played key roles in geometry and partial …

We employ the new geometric active contour models, previously formulated, for edge
detection and segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography …

This paper first appeared in a collection of lecture notes which were distributed at the AMS
Summer Institute on Differential Geometry, held at Stanford in 1973. Since then it has been …

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely
generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end …

SHRINKWRAPPING AND THE TAMING OF HYPERBOLIC 3-MANIFOLDS 0. Introduction

Let $ N={{\mathbf {H}}^ 3}/\Gamma $ be a hyperbolic $3 $-manifold which is homeomorphic
to the interior of a compact $3 $-manifold. We prove that $ N $ is geometrically tame. As a …

We study the geometry and topology of properly embedded minimal surfaces in $
M\times\mathbb {R} $, where $ M $ is a Riemannian surface. When $ M $ is a round sphere …

In this book, we present important recent results on the geometry and topology of 3-
dimensional manifolds and orbifolds. Orbifolds are natural generalizations of manifolds, and …
