Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0715.00017.] The paper contains an overview of three lectures delivered at the Durham LMS Symposium. The first lecture reviews the author's definition of instanton homology for 3-manifolds [Commun. Math. Phys. 118, No. 2, 215- 240 (1988; Zbl 0684.53027)]. The second lecture describes the use of Dehn surgery in the computation of instanton homology; for details, see the author's paper reviewed above. The third lecture concerns his work on the relationship between symplectic geometry and gauge theory and his solution of Arnold's conjecture on fixed points [J. Differ. Geom. 28, No. 3, 513-547 (1988; Zbl 0674.57027); Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 42, No. 4, 335-356 (1989; Zbl 0683.58017)].
