Description for Thurston´s Work on Surfaces (MN-48)
Paperback. Based on material of William Thurston presented at a seminar in Orsay from 1976 to 1977, this title covers topics such as the space of measured foliations on a surface, the Thurston compactification of Teichmuller space, the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms, and dynamical properties of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms. Translator(s): Kim, Djun; Margalit, Dan. Series: Mathematical Notes. Num Pages: 272 pages, 150 line illus. BIC Classification: PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 232 x 160 x 14. Weight in Grams: 398.
This book provides a detailed exposition of William Thurston's work on surface homeomorphisms, available here for the first time in English. Based on material of Thurston presented at a seminar in Orsay from 1976 to 1977, it covers topics such as the space of measured foliations on a surface, the Thurston compactification of Teichmuller space, the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms, and dynamical properties of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms. Thurston never published the complete proofs, so this text is the only resource for many aspects of the theory. Thurston was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal in 1982 as well as many other ...

Reviews for Thurston´s Work on Surfaces (MN-48)
"[T]he translation is a most welcome addition for those who use FLP as a reference... It is the reviewer's hope that this new version will also introduce Thurston's brilliant insights and imagination to even wider audiences and help inspire the present and future generations to pick up where he left off."
