The paper encloses mainly the presentation (without proofs but with some comments) of the results from the following author's articles: 1. Harmonic maps, hyperbolic cohomology and higher Milnor inequalities, Topology 32, 899--907 (1993; Zbl 0804.57013), 2. Yamabe spectra, Duke Math. J. 89, 87--94 (1997; Zbl 0904.53031), 3. Quadratic equations in groups from the global geometry viewpoint, Topology 36, 849--865 (1997; Zbl 0868.53031), 4. Rationality of secondary classes, J. Differ. Geom. 43, 674--692 (1996; Zbl 0874.32009), 5. All regulators of flat bundles are torsion, Ann. Math. (2) 141, 373--386 (1995; Zbl 0865.14003), 6. Characteristic classes in symplectic geometry, Sel. Math., New Ser. 3, 601--642 (1997; Zbl 0903.57013), 7. Continuous cohomology of the groups of volume-preserving and symplectic diffeomorphisms, measurable transfer and higher asymptotic cycles, Sel. Math., New Ser. 5, 181--198 (1999; Zbl 0929.57024), 8. Volumes of discrete groups and topological complexity of homology spheres, Math. Ann. 306, 547--554 (1999; Zbl 0859.20027). Among the results proved by the author and mentioned in the article under review are for example the proofs of the Bloch conjecture and the Ghys-Sergiescu conjecture. There are also a few results (without proofs) about quantization of the mapping class group and Kazhdan groups. We should finally mention that the article gives some perspective of the results in geometry and analytic topology of the last decade. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0972.00031].
