This study demonstrates the key manipulations surrounding Brauer groups, graded rings, group representations, ideal classes of number fields, p-adic differential equations, and rationality problems of invariant fields - displaying a command of the most advanced methods in algebra. It describes new developments in noncommutative valuation theory and p-adic analysis.
Book News Annotation:
Papers from a recent conference demonstrate key manipulations
surrounding Brauer groups, graded rings, group representations, ideal
classes of number fields, p-adic differential equations, and
rationality problems of invariant fields. They examine new
theoretical aspects of cohomology, nonrational fields, graded
coalgebras, and decomposition of orthogonal involutions, and
investigate generic abelian cross products, the uses of differential
modules and the Robba condition, and the theory of graded field
extensions. Contains some 300 references. Lacks a subject index.
