Download or read book Introduction to the Construction of Class Fields written by Harvey Cohn and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1985-08-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this graduate level textbook, Professor Cohn takes a problem that Pythagoras could have posed, and using it as motivation, develops a constructional introduction to classical field theory and modular function theory. The interest in constructional techniques has increased recently with the advent of cheap and plentiful computer technology. The beginning chapters provide the motivation and necessary background in elementary algebraic number theory and Riemann surface theory. The ideas and results are then applied and extended to class field theory. In the later chapters, more specialized results are presented, with full proofs, though the author emphasizes, with examples, the relation of the material to other parts of mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Number Theory Seminar started its regular meeting in January, 1982. The Seminar has been meeting on a regular basis weekly during the academic year since then. The meeting place of the seminar is in midtown Manhattan at the Graduate School and University Center of the City Uni versity of New York. This central location allows number-theorists in the New York metropolitan area and vistors an easy access. Four volumes of the Seminar proceedings, containing expanded texts of Seminar's lectures had been published in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Mathematics series as volumes 1052 (1984), 1135 (1985), 1240 (1987), and 1383 (1989). Seminar co chairmen are pleased that some of the contributions to the Seminar opened new avenues of research in Number Theory and related areas. On a histori cal note, one of such contributions proved to be a contribution by P. Landweber. In addition to classical and modern Number Theory, this Semi nar encourages Computational Number Theory. This book presents a selection of invited lectures presented at the New York Number Theory Seminar during 1989-1990. These papers cover wide areas of Number Theory, particularly modular functions, Aigebraic and Diophantine Geometry, and Computational Number Theory. The review of C-L. Chai presents a broad view of the moduli of Abelian varieties based on recent work of the author and many other prominent experts. This provides the reader interested in Diophantine Analysis with access to state of the art research. The paper of D. V. and G. V.

Download or read book Introduction to the Arithmetic Theory of Automorphic Functions written by Gorō Shimura and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1971-08-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of automorphic forms is playing increasingly important roles in several branches of mathematics, even in physics, and is almost ubiquitous in number theory. This book introduces the reader to the subject and in particular to elliptic modular forms with emphasis on their number-theoretical aspects. After two chapters geared toward elementary levels, there follows a detailed treatment of the theory of Hecke operators, which associate zeta functions to modular forms. At a more advanced level, complex multiplication of elliptic curves and abelian varieties is discussed. The main question is the construction of abelian extensions of certain algebraic number fields, which is traditionally called "Hilbert's twelfth problem." Another advanced topic is the determination of the zeta function of an algebraic curve uniformized by modular functions, which supplies an indispensable background for the recent proof of Fermat's last theorem by Wiles.
Download or read book Primes of the Form x2 ny2 Fermat Class Field Theory and Complex Multiplication Third Edition with Solutions written by David A. Cox and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies when a prime p can be written in the form x2+ny2. It begins at an elementary level with results of Fermat and Euler and then discusses the work of Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss on quadratic reciprocity and the genus theory of quadratic forms. After exploring cubic and biquadratic reciprocity, the pace quickens with the introduction of algebraic number fields and class field theory. This leads to the concept of ring class field and a complete but abstract solution of p=x2+ny2. To make things more concrete, the book introduces complex multiplication and modular functions to give a constructive solution. The book ends with a discussion of elliptic curves and Shimura reciprocity. Along the way the reader will encounter some compelling history and marvelous formulas, together with a complete solution of the class number one problem for imaginary quadratic fields. The book is accessible to readers with modest backgrounds in number theory. In the third edition, the numerous exercises have been thoroughly checked and revised, and as a special feature, complete solutions are included. This makes the book especially attractive to readers who want to get an active knowledge of this wonderful part of mathematics.

Download or read book Introduction to Analytic and Probabilistic Number Theory written by G. Tenenbaum and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a self-contained introduction to analytic methods in number theory, assuming on the part of the reader only what is typically learned in a standard undergraduate degree course. It offers to students and those beginning research a systematic and consistent account of the subject but will also be a convenient resource and reference for more experienced mathematicians. These aspects are aided by the inclusion at the end of each chapter a section of bibliographic notes and detailed exercises.
Download or read book An Introduction to the Theory of the Riemann Zeta Function written by S. J. Patterson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-02-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a modern introduction to the analytic techniques used in the investigation of zeta functions, through the example of the Riemann zeta function. Riemann introduced this function in connection with his study of prime numbers and from this has developed the subject of analytic number theory. Since then many other classes of 'zeta function' have been introduced and they are now some of the most intensively studied objects in number theory. Professor Patterson has emphasised central ideas of broad application, avoiding technical results and the customary function-theoretic approach. Thus, graduate students and non-specialists will find this an up-to-date and accessible introduction, especially for the purposes of algebraic number theory. There are many exercises included throughout, designed to encourage active learning.
Download or read book About Vectors written by Banesh Hoffmann and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his unusual beginning in "Defining a vector" to his final comments on "What then is a vector?" author Banesh Hoffmann has written a book that is provocative and unconventional. In his emphasis on the unresolved issue of defining a vector, Hoffmann mixes pure and applied mathematics without using calculus. The result is a treatment that can serve as a supplement and corrective to textbooks, as well as collateral reading in all courses that deal with vectors. Major topics include vectors and the parallelogram law; algebraic notation and basic ideas; vector algebra; scalars and scalar products; vector products and quotients of vectors; and tensors. The author writes with a fresh, challenging style, making all complex concepts readily understandable. Nearly 400 exercises appear throughout the text. Professor of Mathematics at Queens College at the City University of New York, Banesh Hoffmann is also the author of The Strange Story of the Quantum and other important books. This volume provides much that is new for both students and their instructors, and it will certainly generate debate and discussion in the classroom.
