Topology and Geometry - Rohlin Seminar

This volume is a collection of papers dedicated to the memory of V. A. Rohlin (1919-1984) - an outstanding mathematician and the founder of the Leningrad topological school. It includes survey and research papers on topology of manifolds, topological aspects of the theory of complex and real algebraic varieties, topology of projective configuration spaces and spaces of convex polytopes.
