Sinopse

This text on a central area of number theory covers p-adic L-functions, class numbers, cyclotomic units, Fermat?s Last Theorem, and Iwasawa?s theory of Z_p-extensions. This edition contains a new chapter on the work of Thaine, Kolyvagin, and Rubin, including a proof of the Main Conjecture, as well as a chapter on other recent developments, such as primality testing via Jacobi sums and Sinnott?s proof of the vanishing of Iwasawa?s f-invariant.
