Computers, Rigidity, and Moduli by Shmuel Weinberger
Presents an area of mathematical research that combines topology, geometry, and logic. This book seeks to explain and illustrate the implications of the general principle, first emphasized by Alex Nabutovsky, that logical complexity engenders geometric complexity.
This is a terrific bookIt does no less than introduce an entire new field of mathematics - a truly astounding development. It will be widely read, I think, as much because of the masterful exposition as for the beautiful mathematics. Weinberger gives very clear and accessible descriptions of all the relevant tools from computability, topology, and geometry, in a friendly and engaging style. He has done the mathematical community a great service indeed. - Robin Forman, Rice University; This book represents a very exciting new area of research at the interface of topology and logic. Written in a quite readable style, and presenting the more accessible cases in detail while giving references for the more involved results, it is a book whose methods and ideas will surely have many more significant applications over the next several years. - Kevin M. Whtye, University of Illinois at Chicago
