Diffeomorphisms of Elliptic 3-Manifolds
This work concerns the diffeomorphism groups of 3-manifolds, in particular of elliptic 3-manifolds. These are the closed 3-manifolds that admit a Riemannian metric of constant positive curvature, now known to be exactly the closed 3-manifolds that have a

Preface
This work is ultimately directed at understanding the diffeomorphism groups of elliptic three-manifolds—those closed three-manifolds that admit a Riemannian metric of constant positive curvature. The main results concern the Smale Conjecture. The original Smale Conjecture, proven by A. Hatcher [24],
