Regulators in Analysis, Geometry and Number Theory

Edición de la obra Regulators in analysis, geometry, and number theory

"The focus in this book is on the theory of regulators and secondary invariants, with articles written and refereed by experts in their respective fields. A short historical and mathematical overview of the theory of regulators from its number theoretic origins, and its connections to analysis, topology, differential geometry, and algebra, is presented by the editors in the introduction, with key topics noted as follows: hyperbolic volume and the Borel regulator, the Chern-Simons invariant, the Bloch-Beilinson regulator, polylogarithms (classical and elliptic), and analytic torsion."--BOOK JACKET. "This work is an outgrowth of a conference held at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem on Regulators in Analysis, Geometry and Number Theory, and should appeal to a broad audience of graduate students and research mathematicians."--BOOK JACKET.
