Number Fields and Function Fields – Two Parallel Worlds cover

Invited articles by leading researchers explore various aspects of the parallel worlds of function fields and number fields

Topics range from Arakelov geometry, the search for a theory of varieties over the field with one element, via Eisenstein series to Drinfeld modules, and t-motives

Aimed at graduate students, mathematicians, and researchers interested in geometry and arithmetic and their connections

From the reviews:

“I thoroughly enjoyed the book; referring to it now and then through the various pages has been a wonderful experience. … It is a stimulating and well-researched volume, aimed at a wide audience of gradute students, mathematicians, and researchers interested in geometry and arithmetic and their connections. In short, it places a most engaging progress in mathematics volume in the hands of the target audience who will enjoy, not just profit from, the different aspects of the involved parallelism.” (Current Engineering Practice, Vol. 48, 2005-2
