Unfortunatelly an erratum appears in the foreword of this volume.

We claim that one of the authors of the article On universal groups and three-manifolds, Invent. Math. 87 (1987), no. 3, 441–456 is W. Witten. The correct name of this author is Wilbur Carrington Whitten. W. C. Whitten is not the father of the fields medallist E. Witten, as we claim there.
