- These notes follow a lecture series at the "Singularities and low dimensional topology" winter school at the Rényi Institute in January 2023, with a target audience of graduate students in singularity theory and low-dimensional topology. The lectures discuss the basics of four-dimensional manifold topology, connecting this rich subject to knot theory on one side and to contact, symplectic, and complex geometry (through Stein surfaces) on the other side of the spectrum.
