| | FUNCTION FIELD ARITHMETIC |
 | | This book provides an exposition of function field arithmetic with emphasis on recent developments concerning Drinfeld modules, the arithmetic of special values of transcendental functions (such as zeta and gamma functions and their interpolations), diophantine approximation and related interesting open problems. |
 | | While it covers many topics treated in 'Basic Structures of Function Field Arithmetic' by David Goss, it complements that book with the inclusion of recent developments as well as the treatment of new topics such as diophantine approximation, hypergeometric functions, modular forms, transcendence, automata and solitons. |
 | | It certainly will be useful to graduate students wishing to pursue research in the area of function fields, and at the same time it can be used as a reference book. |
