Title

: 

"The Goldman Bracket and Intersection Numbers II"

: 

 I shall give more details of the relation of intersections to hyperbolic geometry and give a sketch of the proof of the main
 theorem. I shall also outline to the relation of intersection numbers to the so-called Hurwitz equivalence, and hence to smooth 4-manifolds.
