The most topic of the publication is the mathematics of zeta features of automorphic kinds. extra accurately, it appears to be like at p-adic homes of the specific values of those capabilities. For the Riemann-zeta functionality this is going again to the classical Kummer congruences for Bernoulli numbers and their p-adic analytic continuation of the normal zeta capabilities of Siegel and modular types and of the convolutions of Hilbert modular varieties. The booklet is addressed to experts in illustration idea, practical research and algebraic geometry. including new effects, it offers significant history details on p-adic measures, their Mellin transforms, Siegel and Hilbert modular types, Hecke operators performing on them, and Euler items.
