Serge Lang was an iconic figure in mathematics, both for his own important work and for the indelible impact he left on the field of mathematics, on his students, and on his colleagues. Over the course of his career, Lang traversed a tremendous amount of mathematical ground. As he moved from subject to subject, he found analogies that led to important questions in such areas as number theory, arithmetic geometry, and the theory of negatively curved spaces. Lang's conjectures will keep many mathematicians occupied far into the future. In the spirit of Lang's vast contribution to mathematics,...

L-functions associated to automorphic forms encode all classical number theoretic information. They are akin to elementary particles in physics. This book provides an entirely self-contained introduction to the theory of L-functions in a style accessible to graduate students with a basic knowledge of classical analysis, complex variable theory, and algebra. Also within the volume are many new results not yet found in the literature. The exposition provides complete detailed proofs of results in an easy-to-read format using many examples and without the need to know and remember many complex...

This monograph deals with contributions to certain areas of contemporary cryptography based on recent developments in mathematics and computer science, including: (1) public-key cryptography based on combinatorial group theory, with an introduction to the exciting new area of braid group cryptography; (2) construction of one-way functions and pseudorandom number generators from a very general class of zeta functions, namely the feasible Selberg class. A focused survey of the underlying methods is presented together with careful computational constructions, allowing the reader to pursue...
