Summary:Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2007. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 34-47). === In this thesis we give an exposition of some of the topological preliminaries necessary to understand 3-manifold Floer Homology constructed by Peter Kronheimer and Tomasz Mrowka in [16], along with some properties of this theory, calculations for specific manifolds, and applications to 3-manifold topology. === by Ilya Elson. === S.M.
