Description for The Fourier-analytic Proof of Quadratic Reciprocity
Hardcover. This unique book explains in a straightforward fashion how quadratic reciprocity relates to some of the most powerful tools of modern number theory such as adeles, metaplectic groups, and representation, demonstrating how this abstract language actually makes sense. Series: Pure and Applied Mathematics: A Wiley Series of Texts, Monographs and Tracts. Num Pages: 118 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: PBH; PBKF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 244 x 167 x 14. Weight in Grams: 364.
A unique synthesis of the three existing Fourier-analytic treatments of quadratic reciprocity.
The relative quadratic case was first settled by Hecke in 1923, then recast by Weil in 1964 into the language of unitary group representations. The analytic proof of the general n-th order case is still an open problem today, going back to the end of Hecke's famous treatise of 1923. The Fourier-Analytic Proof of Quadratic Reciprocity provides number theorists interested in analytic methods applied to reciprocity laws with a unique opportunity to explore the works of Hecke, Weil, and Kubota.
