Algebraic Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry: Papers Dedicated to A.N. Parshin on the Occasion of His Sixtieth Birthday

A.N. Parshin is a mathematician who has made significant contributions to number theory through the use of algebraic geometry. Articles in this book present new research and the latest developments in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry and are dedicated to Parshin's 60th birthday. Specific subjects include ramification theory for higher dimensional local fields, quotients of algebraic varieties by Zariski dense equivalence relations, Honda groups and explicit pairings on the modules of Cartier curves, and algebraic-oriented cohomology theories. The book is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in number theory, algebra, and algebraic theory. There is no subject index. Annotation c.
