Opis

This is the first volume of a two-volume book that offers an in-depth, and essentially self-contained, treatment of the arithmetic theory of algebraic groups. It is accessible to graduate students and researchers in number theory, algebraic geometry, and related areas.

Recenzje

'The arithmetic theory of algebraic groups is a beautiful area of mathematics: a crossroad of number theory, groups, geometry, representation theory, and more. Not surprisingly it attracted some of the greatest mathematicians of the last few generations. The first edition of the book 'Algebraic Groups and Number Theory' by Vladimir Platonov and Andrei Rapinchuk which came out in the early 90s has quickly become the standard reference of the field. It presents in a clear way several deep topics. The book was one of the reasons the area attracted more researchers and expanded to new directions. This made an updated version much needed. The original authors and Igor Rapinchuk should be thanked by the mathematical community for carrying out this monumental job.' Alex Lubotzky, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
