Introduction to Algebraic Number Theory

چکیده
6 CONTENTS Preface This book is based on notes I created for a one-semester undergraduate course on Algebraic Number Theory, which I taught at Harvard during Spring 2004 and Spring 2005. The textbook for the first course was chapter 1 of Swinnerton-Dyer's book [SD01]. The first draft of this book followed [SD01] closely, but the current version but adding substantial text and examples to make the mathematics accessible to advanced undergraduates. For example, chapter 1 of [SD01] is only 30 pages, whereas this book is 140 pages. License: This book my be freely redistributed, printed and copied, even without written permission from me. You may even extend or change this book, but this preface page must remain in any derived work, and any derived work must also remain free, including the L A T E X source files. Please send any typos or corrections to [email protected]. 7 8 CONTENTS Acknowledgement: This book closely builds on Swinnerton-Dyer's book [SD01] and Cassels's article [Cas67]. Many of the students of Math 129 at Harvard during Spring 2004 and 2005 made helpful comments:

Arithmetic Teichmuller Theory
By Grothedieck's Anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number fields encode all arithmetic information of these curves. The goal of this paper is to develope and arithmetic teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing th...
متن کاملAlgebraic Number Theory and Code Design for Rayleigh Fading Channels
Algebraic number theory is having an increasing impact in code design for many different coding applications, such as single antenna fading channels and more recently, MIMO systems. Extended work has been done on single antenna fading channels, and algebraic lattice codes have been proven to be an effective tool. The general framework has been settled in the last ten years and many explicit cod...

متن کاملFunctorial semantics of topological theories
Following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by F.~W.~Lawvere in his PhD thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. The cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. We introduce t...
متن کاملLectures on Topics in Algebraic Number Theory
2 Preface During December 2000, I gave a course of ten lectures on Algebraic Number Theory at the University of Kiel in Germany. These lectures were aimed at giving a rapid introduction to some basic aspects of Algebraic Number Theory with as few prerequisites as possible. I had also hoped to cover some parts of Algebraic Geometry based on the idea, which goes back to Dedekind, that algebraic n...
متن کاملDistributed Cooperative Control System Algorithms – Simulations and Enhancements
In this paper, we describe and simulate a number of algorithms created to address problems in distributed control systems. Based on tools from matrix theory, algebraic graph theory and control theory, a brief introduction is provided on consensus, rendezvous, and flocking protocols, and Dubins vehicle model. Recent results are then shown by simulating and enhancing various multi-agent dynamic s...
