Download or read book Topics in the Theory of Algebraic Function Fields written by Gabriel Daniel Villa Salvador. This book was released on 2007-10-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of algebraic functions of one variable appear in several areas of mathematics: complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and number theory. This text adopts the latter perspective by applying an arithmetic-algebraic viewpoint to the study of function fields as part of the algebraic theory of numbers. The examination explains both the similarities and fundamental differences between function fields and number fields, including many exercises and examples to enhance understanding and motivate further study. The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of field theory, complex analysis, and some commutative algebra.
