Geometry and Topology Down Under

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.
