This book covers the following three topics in a manner accessible
to graduate students who have an understanding of algebraic number
theory and scheme theoretic algebraic geometry:
1. An elementary construction of Shimura varieties as moduli of
abelian schemes
2. p-adic deformation theory of automorphic forms on Shimura
varieties
3. A simple proof of irreducibility of the generalized Igusa
tower over the Shimura variety
The book starts with a detailed study of elliptic and Hilbert
modular forms and reaches to the forefront of research of Shimura
varieties associated with general classical groups. The method of
constructing p-adic analytic families and the proof of
irreducibility was recently discovered by the author. The area
covered in this book is now a focal point of research worldwide
with many far-reaching applications that have led to solutions of
longstanding problems and conjectures. Specifically, the use of
p-adic elliptic and Hilbert modular forms have proven essential in
recent breakthroughs in number theory (for example, the proof of
Fermat's Last Theorem and the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture by A.
Wiles and others).
Haruzo Hida is Professor of Mathematics at University of
California, Los Angeles. His previous books include Modular Forms
and Galois Cohomology (Cambridge University Press 2000) and
Geometric Modular Forms and Elliptic Curves (World Scientific
Publishing Company 2000).
