Editorial Reviews

These proceedings (workshop held at Ohio State U., June 1991) introduce new techniques which center on Drinfield modules and their higher dimensional analogs, t-modules. The theory of Drinfield modules has grown rapidly over the last few years, yet is unknown to most mathematicians. This volume introduces the modules, their use in explicit class field theory, the structure of their moduli spaces, the theory of associated modular forms, transcendency theory, and the new related special functions. Contains a glossary but no index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
