Celebrating one of the leading figures in contemporary number theory – John H. Coates – on the occasion of his 70th birthday, this collection of contributions covers a range of topics in number theory, concentrating on the arithmetic of elliptic curves, modular forms, and Galois representations. Several of the contributions in this volume were presented at the conference Elliptic Curves, Modular Forms and Iwasawa Theory, held in honour of the 70th birthday of John Coates in Cambridge, March 25-27, 2015. The main unifying theme is Iwasawa theory, a field that John Coates himself has done much to create. This collection is indispensable reading for researchers in Iwasawa theory, and is interesting and valuable for those in many related fields.
This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop on “Advances in the Theory of Automorphic Forms and Their L-functions” held in honor of James Cogdell's 60th birthday, held from October 16–25, 2013, at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute (ESI) at the University of Vienna. The workshop and the papers contributed to this volume circle around such topics as the theory of automorphic forms and their L-functions, geometry and number theory, covering some of the recent approaches and advances to these subjects. Specifically, the papers cover aspects of representation theory of p-adic groups, classification of automorphic representations through their Fourier coefficients and their liftings, L-functions for classical groups, special values of L-functions, Howe duality, subconvexity for L-functions, Kloosterman integrals, arithmetic geometry and cohomology of arithmetic groups, and other important problems on L-functions, nodal sets and geometry.
This volume is dedicated to Professor John H. Coates, an outstanding contributor to number theory, both through his pioneering and fundamental mathematical works and through the magnificent mathematical school he has established. It contains 24 articles written by 38 authors on a wide range of topics in the cutting edge of research in number theory, algebraic geometry and analysis: zeta functions and $L$-functions, automorphic and modularity issues, Galois representations,arithmetic of elliptic curves, Iwasawa theory, noncommutative Iwasawa theory, and $p$-adic analysis. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students in these and neighboring fields. Information for our distributors: A publication of the Documenta Mathematica. The AMS distributes this series,beginning with volume 3, in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

This volume is edited as the proceedings of the international conference 'Iwasawa 2017', which was held at the University of Tokyo from July 19th through July 28th, 2017, in order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Kenkichi Iwasawa's birth. In total 236 participants attended the conference including 98 participants from 15 countries outside Japan, and enjoyed the talks and the discussions on several themes flourishing in Iwasawa theory. This volume consists of 3 survey papers and of 15 research papers submitted from the speakers and the organizers of the conference. We also included 4 essays on memories of Iwasawa to celebrate the Centennial of Iwasawa's birth. We recommend this volume to all researchers and graduate students who are interested in Iwasawa theory, number theory and related fields.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets except North America
p-adic numbers play a very important role in modern number theory, algebraic geometry and representation theory. Lately p-adic numbers have attracted a great deal of attention in modern theoretical physics as a promising new approach for describing the non-Archimedean geometry of space-time at small distances.This is the first book to deal with applications of p-adic numbers in theoretical and mathematical physics. It gives an elementary and thoroughly written introduction to p-adic numbers and p-adic analysis with great numbers of examples as well as applications of p-adic numbers in classical mechanics, dynamical systems, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, quantum field theory and string theory.
The book is a collection of research and review articles in several areas of modern mathematics and mathematical physics published in the span of three decades. The ICM Kyoto talk “Mathematics as Metaphor” summarises the author's view on mathematics as an outgrowth of natural language.
Since their introduction by Kolyvagin, Euler systems have been used in several important applications in arithmetic algebraic geometry. For a $p$-adic Galois module $T$, Kolyvagin's machinery is designed to provide an upper bound for the size of the Selmer group associated to the Cartier dual $T^*$. Given an Euler system, Kolyvagin produces a collection of cohomology classes which he calls ``derivative'' classes. It is these derivative classes which are used to bound the dual Selmer group. The starting point of the present memoir is the observation that Kolyvagin's systems of derivative classes satisfy stronger interrelations than have previously been recognized. We call a system of cohomolo...
