Review text

A major focus of current research in topology is the classification problem for smooth, closed, simply connected 4-manifolds. While we are still a long way from a complete solution of this problem, progress is now being made, driven mainly by the new gauge-theoretic tools introduced by Donaldson. In this article, we break the problem into several smaller problems, and discuss what is known about each. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0836.57012].
