Starting at an elementary level, the volume covers p-adic L-functions, class numbers, cyclotomic units, Fermat's Last Theorem, and Iwasawa's theory of Z_p-extensions, leading the reader to an understanding of modern research literature. Many exercises are included. \u003cbr\u003eThe second edition includes a new chapter on the work of Thaine, Kolyvagin, and Rubin, including a proof of the Main Conjecture. There is also a chapter giving other recent developments, including primality testing via Jacobi sums and Sinnott's proof of the vanishing of Iwasawa's f-invariant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284291608727,"sku":"9781461273462","price":4866.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461273462.webp?v=1769280741","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-cyclotomic-fields-9781461273462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
