The Disc Embedding Theorem contains the first thorough and approachable exposition of Freedman's proof of the disc embedding theorem, with many new details. A self-contained account of decomposition space theory, a beautiful but outmoded branch of topology that produces non-differentiable homeomorphisms between manifolds, is provided, as well as a stand-alone interlude that explains the disc embedding theorem's key role in all known homeomorphism classifications of 4-manifolds via surgery theory and the s-cobordism theorem. Additionally, the ramifications of the disc embedding theorem within the study of topological 4-manifolds, for example Frank Quinn's development of fundamental tools like transversality are broadly described.
The book is written for mathematicians, within the subfield of topology, specifically interested in the study of 4-dimensional spaces, and includes numerous professionally rendered figures.

About the Author
Boldizsar Kalmar was a research assistant at the Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics in 2005, then he got his PhD at Kyushu University in Japan in 2008. Then he did research at the Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics until 2017. He visited the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in 2013. His research field is the topology of singular maps and low dimensional topology.
Dr Mark Powell obtained his PhD from the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Andrew Ranicki in 2011. After positions at Indiana University, the Max Planck Institute in Bonn, and at UQAM in Montreal, he moved to Durham University in 2017 to take up a position as Associate Professor.
Dr Arunima Ray received a PhD in mathematics from Rice University, in Houston, USA in 2014 and subsequently held a postdoctoral fellowship at Brandeis University at Waltham, USA. She is currently a Lise Meitner group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. Her research is in low-dimensional topology, specifically the study of knots and links, and 3- and 4-manifolds.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Mispah books, Redhill, Surrey, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
