Sinopsis

The arithmetic of function fields over finite fields has been an area of extensive research since the mid-1970s with interesting results being obtained. This text offers an introduction to basic concepts such as Drinfeld modules, T-modules, shtuka, exponentiation of ideals and characteristic p L-functions and Gamma-functions in all their various manifestations. Insight from classical number theory, differential equations/algebra and algebraic geometry is presented when needed. Unsolved problems are posed to the reader and a comprehensive list of references is included.

Críticas

From the reviews:"The book...is a thorough and very readable introduction to the arithmetic of function fields of one variable over a finite field, by an author who has made fundamental contributions to the field. It serves as a definitive reference volume, as well as offering graduate students with a solid understanding of algebraic number theory the opportunity to quickly reach the frontiers of knowledge in an important area of mathematics...The arithmetic of function fields is a universe filled with beautiful surprises, in which familiar objects from classical number theory reappear in new guises, and in which entirely new objects play important roles. Goss' clear exposition and lively style make this book an excellent introduction to this fascinating field." MR 97i:11062
