From the reviews: ..". The author succeeded in an excellent way to describe the various points of view under which Class Field Theory can be seen. ... In any case the author succeeded to write a very readable book on these difficult themes." Monatshefte fuer Mathematik, 1994
..". Number theory is not easy and quite technical at several places, as the author is able to show in his technically good exposition. The amount of difficult material well exposed gives a survey of quite a lot of good solid classical number theory... Conclusion: for people not already familiar with...

The aim of this journal is to publish papers in mathematical physics and related areas that are of the highest quality. Research papers and review articles are selected through the normal refereeing process, overseen by an editorial board. The research subjects are primarily on mathematical physics; but this should not be interpreted as a limitation, as the editors feel that essentially all subjects of mathematics and physics are in principle relevant to mathematical physics.
