Format:Hardback
Publisher:Birkhauser Boston Inc
Published:14th Sep '05
Currently unavailable, and unfortunately no date known when it will be back
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, 2005-2ISBN: 9780817643973
