This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first English translation of the classic long paper Theorie der algebraischen Functionen einer Veranderlichen (Theory of algebraic functions of one variable), published by Dedekind and Weber in 1882. The translation has been enriched by a Translator's Introduction that includes historical background, and also by extensive commentary embedded in the translation itself. The translation, introduction, and commentary provide the first easy access to this important paper for a wide mathematical audience: students, historians of mathematics, and professional mathematicians. Why is the Dedekind-Weber paper important? In the 1850s, Riemann initiated a revolution in algebraic geometry by interpreting algebraic curves as surfaces covering the sphere. He obtained deep and striking results in pure algebra by intuitive arguments about surfaces and their topology. However, Riemann's arguments were not rigorous, and they remained in limbo until 1882, when Dedekind and Weber put them on a sound foundation. The key to this breakthrough was to develop the theory of algebraic functions in analogy with Dedekind's theory of algebraic numbers, where the concept of ideal plays a central role. By introducing such concepts into the theory of algebraic curves, Dedekind and Weber paved the way for modern algebraic geometry.

Download or read book Algebraic Numbers and Algebraic Functions written by P.M. Cohn and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the theory of algebraic numbers and algebraic functions of one variable. The basic development is the same for both using E Artin's legant approach, via valuations. Number Theory is pursued as far as the unit theorem and the finiteness of the class number. In function theory the aim is the Abel-Jacobi theorem describing the devisor class group, with occasional geometrical asides to help understanding. Assuming only an undergraduate course in algebra, plus a little acquaintance with topology and complex function theory, the book serves as an introduction to more technical works in algebraic number theory, function theory or algebraic geometry by an exposition of the central themes in the subject.

Download or read book Topics in the Theory of Algebraic Function Fields written by Gabriel Daniel Villa Salvador and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-10 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of algebraic functions of one variable appear in several areas of mathematics: complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and number theory. This text adopts the latter perspective by applying an arithmetic-algebraic viewpoint to the study of function fields as part of the algebraic theory of numbers. The examination explains both the similarities and fundamental differences between function fields and number fields, including many exercises and examples to enhance understanding and motivate further study. The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of field theory, complex analysis, and some commutative algebra.

Download or read book Introductory Notes on Valuation Rings and Function Fields in One Variable written by Renata Scognamillo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the (elementary and introductory) theory of valuation rings. As explained in the introduction, this represents a useful and important viewpoint in algebraic geometry, especially concerning the theory of algebraic curves and their function fields. The correspondences of this with other viewpoints (e.g. of geometrical or topological nature) are often indicated, also to provide motivations and intuition for many results. Links with arithmetic are also often indicated. There are three appendices, concerning Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz (for which several proofs are provided), Puiseux series and Dedekind domains. There are also several exercises, often accompanied by hints, which sometimes develop further results not included in full for brevity reasons.

Book excerpt: Algebraic number theory is one of the most refined creations in mathematics. It has been developed by some of the leading mathematicians of this and previous centuries. The primary goal of this book is to present the essential elements of algebraic number theory, including the theory of normal extensions up through a glimpse of class field theory. Following the example set for us by Kronecker, Weber, Hilbert and Artin, algebraic functions are handled here on an equal footing with algebraic numbers. This is done on the one hand to demonstrate the analogy between number fields and function fields, which is especially clear in the case where the ground field is a finite field. On the other hand, in this way one obtains an introduction to the theory of 'higher congruences' as an important element of 'arithmetic geometry'. Early chapters discuss topics in elementary number theory, such as Minkowski's geometry of numbers, public-key cryptography and a short proof of the Prime Number Theorem, following Newman and Zagier. Next, some of the tools of algebraic number theory are introduced, such as ideals, discriminants and valuations. These results are then applied to obtain results about function fields, including a proof of the Riemann-Roch Theorem and, as an application of cyclotomic fields, a proof of the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem. There are a detailed exposition of the theory of Hecke $L$-series, following Tate, and explicit applications to number theory, such as the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Chapter 9 brings together the earlier material through the study of quadratic number fields. Finally, Chapter 10 gives an introduction to class field theory. The book attempts as much as possible to give simple proofs. It can be used by a beginner in algebraic number theory who wishes to see some of the true power and depth of the subject. The book is suitable for two one-semester courses, with the first four chapters serving to develop the basic material. Chapters 6 through 9 could be used on their own as a second semester course.

Download or read book Function Theory of One Complex Variable written by Robert Everist Greene and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex analysis is one of the most central subjects in mathematics. It is compelling and rich in its own right, but it is also remarkably useful in a wide variety of other mathematical subjects, both pure and applied. This book is different from others in that it treats complex variables as a direct development from multivariable real calculus. As each new idea is introduced, it is related to the corresponding idea from real analysis and calculus. The text is rich with examples andexercises that illustrate this point. The authors have systematically separated the analysis from the topology, as can be seen in their proof of the Cauchy theorem. The book concludes with several chapters on special topics, including full treatments of special functions, the prime number theorem,and the Bergman kernel. The authors also treat $Hp$ spaces and Painleve's theorem on smoothness to the boundary for conformal maps. This book is a text for a first-year graduate course in complex analysis. It is an engaging and modern introduction to the subject, reflecting the authors' expertise both as mathematicians and as expositors.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of the Algebraic Functions of a Complex Variable The theory of the algebraic functions developed in the following pages is algebraic in its methods and perfectly general. It holds for any algebraic equation reducible or irreducible, however complicated its singularities may be and whatever its character at infinity. The development of the theory may be said to culminate in the complementary theorem, in Chapter XII, from which theorem a number of well-known theorems in the theory of the algebraic functions immediately follow as corollaries. The principles here presented have been in the possession of the writer for some eight years past and had in fact, in a somewhat different form, already been written up with a view to publication in the summer of 1898. Other matters however intervened and the work was laid aside for a long period. Since then further interruptions have occurred, - the theory however has been twice rewritten in the interval and has probably lost nothing by the delay in publication. The writer has not felt it to be necessary to go into the theory of the Abelian integrals, his object having been attained on presenting the purely algebraic side of his subject. The principle embodied in the statement of the limitation on the orders of coincidence which a reduced form can have simultaneously with then branches of the fundamental algebraic equation, is evidently of wider scope than the theory of the algebraic functions. Also the method of the deformation of a product, or its equivalent, should find its application elsewhere, for example in the theory of the algebraic numbers and in the theory of the algebraic functions of several variables. In the latter connection the writer might say that he possesses a simple representation of the branches of an algebraic function of any number of variables in the neighborhood of a singular manifold and hopes to be able to utilize this representation in combination with the methods employed in the present volume. In conclusion the writer desires to express his thanks to Professor Mittag-Leffler and Professor Phragmén for the interest they have taken in his work. Acknowledgement is also due to the publishers, Messrs Mayer and Muller, for the obliging readiness with which they have always met the wishes of the author.

Download or read book Introduction to Analysis in One Variable written by Michael E. Taylor and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a text for students who have had a three-course calculus sequence and who are ready to explore the logical structure of analysis as the backbone of calculus. It begins with a development of the real numbers, building this system from more basic objects (natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, Cauchy sequences), and it produces basic algebraic and metric properties of the real number line as propositions, rather than axioms. The text also makes use of the complex numbers and incorporates this into the development of differential and integral calculus. For example, it develops the theory of the exponential function for both real and complex arguments, and it makes a geometrical study of the curve (expit) (expit), for real t t, leading to a self-contained development of the trigonometric functions and to a derivation of the Euler identity that is very different from what one typically sees. Further topics include metric spaces, the Stone–Weierstrass theorem, and Fourier series.
