A belian Varieties has been out of print for a while. Since it was
written, the subject has made some great advances, and Mumford's
book giving a scheme theoretic treatment has appeared (D. Mum-
ford, Abelian Varieties, Tata Lecture Notes, Oxford University
Press, London, 1970). However, some topics covered in my book were
not covered in Mumford's; for instance, the construction of the
Picard variety, the Albanese variety, some formulas concern- ing
numerical questions, the reciprocity law for correspondences and
its application to Kummer theory, Chow's theory for the K/k-trace
and image, and others. Several people have told me they still found
a number of sections of my book useful. There- fore I thank
Springer-Verlag for the opportunity to keep the book in print. S.
LANG v FOREWORD Pour des simplifications plus subs tan- tielles, Ie
developpement futur de la geometrie algebrique ne saurait manquer
sans do ute d' en faire apparaitre. It is with considerable
pleasure that we have seen in recent years the simplifications
expected by Weil realize themselves, and it has seemed timely to
incorporate them into a new book. We treat exclusively abelian
varieties, and do not pretend to write a treatise on algebraic
groups. Hence we have summarized in a first chapter all the general
results on algebraic groups that are used in the sequel. They are
all foundational results.
The present book was conceived as an introduction for the user of
universal algebra, rather than a handbook for the specialist, but
when the first edition appeared in 1965, there were practically no
other books entir ly devoted to the subject, whether introductory
or specialized. Today the specialist in the field is well provided
for, but there is still a demand for an introduction to the subject
to suit the user, and this seemed to justify a reissue of the book.
Naturally some changes have had to be made; in particular, I have
corrected all errors that have been brought to my notice. Besides
errors, some obscurities in the text have been removed and the
references brought up to date. I should like to express my thanks
to a number of correspondents for their help, in particular C. G.
d'Ambly, W. Felscher, P. Goralcik, P. J. Higgins, H.-J. Hoehnke, J.
R. Isbell, A. H. Kruse, E. J. Peake, D. Suter, J. S. Wilson. But
lowe a special debt to G. M. Bergman, who has provided me with
extensive comments. particularly on Chapter VII and the
supplementary chapters. I have also con sulted reviews of the first
edition, as well as the Italian and Russian translations."
When I began to write this book, I originally had in mind the needs
of university students in their first year. May aim was to keep the
mathematics simple. No advanced techniques are used and there are
no complicated applications. The emphasis is on an understanding of
the basic ideas and problems which require expertise but do not
contribute to this understanding are not discussed. How ever, the
presentation is more sophisticated than might be considered
appropri ate for someone with no previous knowledge of the subject
so that, although it is developed from the beginning, some previous
acquaintance with the elements of the subject would be an
advantage. In addition, some familiarity with element ary calculus
is assumed but not with the elementary theory of differential
equations, although knowledge of the latter would again be an
advantage. It is my opinion that mechanics is best introduced
through the motion of a particle, with rigid body problems left
until the subject is more fully developed. However, some
experienced mathematicians consider that no introduction is
complete without a discussion of rigid body mechanics. Conventional
accounts of the subject invariably include such a discussion, but
with the problems restricted to two-dimensional ones in the books
which claim to be elementary. The mechanics of rigid bodies is
therefore included but there is no separate discussion of the
theory in two dimensions."
This is a collection of research-oriented monographs, reports, and
notes arising from lectures and seminars on the Weil
representation, the Maslov index, and the Theta series. It is good
contribution to the international scientific community,
particularly for researchers and graduate students in the field.
Berkeley Lectures on p-adic Geometry presents an important
breakthrough in arithmetic geometry. In 2014, leading mathematician
Peter Scholze delivered a series of lectures at the University of
California, Berkeley, on new ideas in the theory of p-adic
geometry. Building on his discovery of perfectoid spaces, Scholze
introduced the concept of "diamonds," which are to perfectoid
spaces what algebraic spaces are to schemes. The introduction of
diamonds, along with the development of a mixed-characteristic
shtuka, set the stage for a critical advance in the discipline. In
this book, Peter Scholze and Jared Weinstein show that the moduli
space of mixed-characteristic shtukas is a diamond, raising the
possibility of using the cohomology of such spaces to attack the
Langlands conjectures for a reductive group over a p-adic field.
This book follows the informal style of the original Berkeley
lectures, with one chapter per lecture. It explores p-adic and
perfectoid spaces before laying out the newer theory of shtukas and
their moduli spaces. Points of contact with other threads of the
subject, including p-divisible groups, p-adic Hodge theory, and
Rapoport-Zink spaces, are thoroughly explained. Berkeley Lectures
on p-adic Geometry will be a useful resource for students and
scholars working in arithmetic geometry and number theory.
In the summer quarter of 1949, I taught a ten-weeks introductory
course on number theory at the University of Chicago; it was
announced in the catalogue as "Alge bra 251." What made it
possible, in the form which I had planned for it, was the fact that
Max Rosenlicht, now of the University of California at Berkeley,
was then my assistant. According to his recollection, "this was the
first and last time, in the his tory of the Chicago department of
mathematics, that an assistant worked for his salary." The course
consisted of two lectures a week, supplemented by a weekly
"laboratory period" where students were given exercises which they
were. asked to solve under Max's supervision and (when necessary)
with his help. This idea was borrowed from the "Praktikum" of
German universi ties. Being alien to the local tradition, it did
not work out as well as I had hoped, and student attendance at the
problem sessions so on became desultory. v vi Weekly notes were
written up by Max Rosenlicht and issued week by week to the
students. Rather than a literal reproduction of the course, they
should be regarded as its skeleton; they were supplemented by
references to stan dard text-books on algebra. Max also contributed
by far the larger part of the exercises. None of, this was meant
for publication."

This book presents a self-contained introduction to H.M. Stark
's remarkable conjectures about the leading term of the Taylor
expansion of Artin 's L-functions at s=0. These conjectures can be
viewed as a vast generalization of Dirichlet 's class number
formula and Kronecker 's limit formula. They provide an unexpected
contribution to Hilbert 's 12th problem on the generalization of
class fields by the values of transcendental functions. This volume
belongs on the shelf of every mathematics library.
Building on the success of the first edition, An Introduction to
Number Theory with Cryptography, Second Edition, increases coverage
of the popular and important topic of cryptography, integrating it
with traditional topics in number theory. The authors have written
the text in an engaging style to reflect number theory's increasing
popularity. The book is designed to be used by sophomore, junior,
and senior undergraduates, but it is also accessible to advanced
high school students and is appropriate for independent study. It
includes a few more advanced topics for students who wish to
explore beyond the traditional curriculum. Features of the second
edition include Over 800 exercises, projects, and computer
explorations Increased coverage of cryptography, including
Vigenere, Stream, Transposition,and Block ciphers, along with RSA
and discrete log-based systems "Check Your Understanding" questions
for instant feedback to students New Appendices on "What is a
proof?" and on Matrices Select basic (pre-RSA) cryptography now
placed in an earlier chapter so that the topic can be covered right
after the basic material on congruences Answers and hints for
odd-numbered problems About the Authors: Jim Kraft received his
Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1987 and has published
several research papers in algebraic number theory. His previous
teaching positions include the University of Rochester, St. Mary's
College of California, and Ithaca College, and he has also worked
in communications security. Dr. Kraft currently teaches mathematics
at the Gilman School. Larry Washington received his Ph.D. from
Princeton University in 1974 and has published extensively in
number theory, including books on cryptography (with Wade Trappe),
cyclotomic fields, and elliptic curves. Dr. Washington is currently
Professor of Mathematics and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher at the
University of Maryland.
This book is a comprehensive treatise on the partial toroidal and
minimal compactifications of the ordinary loci of PEL-type Shimura
varieties and Kuga families, and on the canonical and subcanonical
extensions of automorphic bundles. The results in this book serve
as the logical foundation of several recent developments in the
theory of p-adic automorphic forms; and of the author's work with
Harris, Taylor, and Thorne on the construction of Galois
representations without any polarizability conditions, which is a
major breakthrough in the Langlands program.This book is important
for active researchers and graduate students who need to understand
the above-mentioned recent works, and is written with such users of
the theory in mind, providing plenty of explanations and background
materials, which should be helpful for people working in similar
areas. It also contains precise internal and external references,
and an index of notation and terminologies. These are useful for
readers to quickly locate materials they need.
