This book introduces the reader to the subject and in particular to elliptic modular forms with emphasis on their number-theoretical aspects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After two chapters geared toward elementary levels, there follows a detailed treatment of the theory of Hecke operators, which associate zeta functions to modular forms. At a more advanced level, complex multiplication of elliptic curves and abelian varieties is discussed. The main question is the construction of abelian extensions of certain algebraic number fields, which is traditionally called \"Hilbert's twelfth problem.\" Another advanced topic is the determination of the zeta function of an algebraic curve uniformized by modular functions, which supplies an indispensable background for the recent proof of Fermat's last theorem by Wiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goro Shimura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691080925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691080925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.28w x 0.69d","brand":"Goro Shimura","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981098320127,"sku":"9780691080925","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99a52f6a-1ace-4922-8f2e-b1b43e48fd88.jpg?v=1683253645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-arithmetic-theory-of-goro-shimura-9780691080925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
