This book is an introduction to combinatorial torsions of cellular spaces and manifolds with special emphasis on torsions of 3-dimensional manifolds. The first two chapters cover the algebraic foundations of the theory of torsions and various topological constructions of torsions. The third and last chapter deals with so-called refined torsions and the related additional structures. The book includes the necessary amount of standard background material to be accessible to the beginner.Tuarev, V. is the author of 'Introduction to Combinatorial Torsions' with ISBN 9783764364038 and ISBN 3764364033.
