The aim of this volume is to offer a set of high quality contributions on recent advances in Differential Geometry and Topology, with some emphasis on their application in physics.

A broad range of themes is covered, including convex sets, Kaehler manifolds and moment map, combinatorial Morse theory and 3-manifolds, knot theory and statistical mechanics.
