    Contemporary Mathematics
    Volume: 597; 2013; 369 pp
    MSC: Primary 57; 20; 53

    This book contains the proceedings of the conference Geometry & Topology Down Under, held July 11–22, 2011, at the University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia, in honour of Hyam Rubinstein.

    The main topic of the book is low-dimensional geometry and topology. It includes both survey articles based on courses presented at the conferences and research articles devoted to important questions in low-dimensional geometry. Together, these contributions show how methods from different fields of mathematics contribute to the study of 3-manifolds and Gromov hyperbolic groups. It also contains a list of favorite problems by Hyam Rubinstein.
    Readership

    Graduate students and researchers interested in low-dimensional geometry and topology.
