This self-contained and comprehensive textbook of algebraic number theory is useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. The book discusses proofs of almost all basic significant theorems of algebraic number theory including Dedekind’s theorem on splitting of primes, Dirichlet’s unit theorem, Minkowski’s convex body theorem, Dedekind’s discriminant theorem, Hermite’s theorem on discriminant, Dirichlet’s class number formula, and Dirichlet’s theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. A few research problems arising out of these results...

This book is an outgrowth of the conference “Regulators IV: An International Conference on Arithmetic L-functions and Differential Geometric Methods” that was held in Paris in May 2016. Gathering contributions by leading experts in the field ranging from original surveys to pure research articles, this volume provides comprehensive coverage of the front most developments in the field of regulator maps. Key topics covered are:

• Additive polylogarithms

• Analytic torsions

• Chabauty-Kim theory

• Local Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch...

​This book discusses the p-adic modular forms, the eigencurve that parameterize them, and the p-adic L-functions one can associate to them. These theories and their generalizations to automorphic forms for group of higher ranks are of fundamental importance in number theory.

For graduate students and newcomers to this field, the book provides a solid introduction to this highly active area of research. For experts, it will offer the convenience of collecting into one place foundational definitions and theorems with complete and...

This book gives its readers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with new aspects of the fruitful interactions between Analysis, Geometry, Quantum Mechanics and Number Theory. The present book contains a number of contributions by specialists in these areas as an homage to the memory of the mathematician Erik Balslev and, at the same time, advancing a fascinating interdisciplinary area still full of potential.

Erik Balslev has made original and important contributions to several areas of Mathematics and its applications. He belongs to the founders of complex scaling, one of...

This book discusses special properties of integer sequences from a unique point of view. It generalizes common, well-known properties and connects them with sequences such as divisible sequences, Lucas sequences, Lehmer sequences, periods of sequences, lifting properties, and so on. The book presents theories derived by using elementary means and includes results not usually found in common number theory books. Considering the impact and usefulness of these theorems, the book also aims at being valuable for Olympiad level problem solving as well as regular research. This book will be of...

This text is intended for a one-semester course in cryptography at the advanced undergraduate/Master's degree level.  It is suitable for students from various STEM backgrounds, including engineering, mathematics, and computer science, and may also be attractive for researchers and professionals who want to learn the basics of cryptography. Advanced knowledge of computer science or mathematics (other than elementary programming skills) is not assumed. The book includes more material than can be covered in a single semester. The Preface provides a suggested outline for a single...
