Produktbeschreibung

Ever since the analogy between number fields and function fields was discovered, it has been a source of inspiration for new ideas, and a long history has not in any way detracted from the appeal of the subject. As a deeper understanding of this analogy could have tremendous consequences, the search for a unified approach has become a sort of Holy Grail. These invited articles by leading researchers in the field 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. This volume is aimed at a wide audience of graduate students, mathematicians, and researchers interested in geometry and arithmetic and their connections.

Rezensionen

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, 2005-2006
