Number Theory in Function Fields (eBook, PDF) von Michael Rosen

This book studies the relationship between number theory in algebraic number fields and algebraic function fields. Because function fields are a bit different from number fields, even the experienced number theorist will learn from this book. Algebraic geometers will like the book, since the geometry of curves over an algebraically closed field is both pretty and elementary. Michael Rosen is the author of the successful book "A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory." He is the recipient of the 1999 Chauvenet Prize for his article "Niels Hendrik Abel and Equations of the Fifth Degree."

From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "Both in the large (choice and arrangement of the material) and in the details (accuracy and completeness of proofs, quality of explanations and motivating remarks), the author did a marvelous job. His parallel treatment of topics...for both number and function fields demonstrates the strong interaction between the respective arithmetics, and allows for motivation on either side." Bulletin of the AMS "... Which brings us to the book by Michael Rosen. In it, one has an excellent (and, to the author's knowledge, unique) introduction to the global theory of function fields covering both the classical theory of Artin, Hasse, Weil and presenting an introduction to Drinfeld modules (in particular, the Carlitz module and its exponential). So the reader will find the basic material on function fields and their history (i.e., Weil differentials, the Riemann-Roch Theorem etc.) leading up to Bombieri's proof of the Riemann hypothesis first established by Weil. In addition one finds chapters on Artin's primitive root Conjecture for function fields, Brumer-Stark theory, the ABC Conjecture, results on class numbers and so on. Each chapter contains a list of illuminating exercises. Rosen's book is perfect for graduate students, as well as other mathematicians, fascinated by the amazing similarities between number fields and function fields." David Goss (Ohio State University)
