Drinfeld Module
In mathematics, a Drinfeld module (or elliptic module) is roughly a special kind of module over a ring of functions on a curve over a finite field, generalizing the Carlitz module. Loosely speaking, they provide a function field analogue of complex multiplication theory. A shtuka (also called F-sheaf or chtouca) is a sort of generalization of a Drinfeld module, consisting roughly of a vector bundle over a curve, together with some extra structure identifying a "Frobenius twist" of the bundle with a "modification" of it. Drinfeld modules were introduced by , who used them to prove the Langlands conjectures for GL2 of an algebraic function field in some special cases. He later invented shtukas and used shtukas of rank 2 to prove the remaining cases of the Langlands conjectures for GL2. Laurent Lafforgue proved the Langlands conjectures for GL''n'' of a function field by studying the moduli stack of shtukas of rank ''n''. "Shtuka" is a Russian word штука meaning "a single co ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of t ...

Algebraic Number Theory
Algebraic number theory is a branch of number theory that uses the techniques of abstract algebra to study the integers, rational numbers, and their generalizations. Number-theoretic questions are expressed in terms of properties of algebraic objects such as algebraic number fields and their rings of integers, finite fields, and function fields. These properties, such as whether a ring admits unique factorization, the behavior of ideals, and the Galois groups of fields, can resolve questions of primary importance in number theory, like the existence of solutions to Diophantine equations. History of algebraic number theory Diophantus The beginnings of algebraic number theory can be traced to Diophantine equations, named after the 3rd-century Alexandrian mathematician, Diophantus, who studied them and developed methods for the solution of some kinds of Diophantine equations. A typical Diophantine problem is to find two integers ''x'' and ''y'' such that their sum, and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs. The society is one of the four parts of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics and a member of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. History The AMS was founded in 1888 as the New York Mathematical Society, the brainchild of Thomas Fiske, who was impressed by the London Mathematical Society on a visit to England. John Howard Van Amringe was the first president and Fiske became secretary. The society soon decided to publish a journal, but ran into some resistance, due to concerns about competing with the American Journal of Mathematics. The result was the '' Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society'', with Fiske as editor-in-chief. The de facto journal, as intended, was influential i ...

LOMI
Lomi or pancit lomi (Hokkien: /便食滷麵; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ló͘-mī/piān-si̍t ló͘-mī) is a Filipino dish made with a variety of thick fresh egg noodles of about a quarter of an inch in diameter, soaked in lye water to give it more texture. Because of its popularity at least in the eastern part of Batangas, there are as many styles of cooking lomi as there are eateries, '' panciterias'' or restaurants offering the dish. Variations in recipes and quality are therefore very common. Recipe Small portions of meat (usually pork, sometimes chicken) and pork liver, are thinly sliced then sauteed with garlic and shallots. It is then cooked until tender. Next, salt, finely ground black pepper and other seasonings are added at this point. Then soup stock is added to prepare the broth. Next the lomi noodle and chopped cabbage is added. While waiting for the noodles to cook, a mixture of cornstarch flour blended with a small amount of water is added to thicken the soup. Fi ...

Graduate Texts In Mathematics
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) (ISSN 0072-5285) is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the top of the book. The books in this series tend to be written at a more advanced level than the similar Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and difficulty level.

Matematicheskii Sbornik
''Matematicheskii Sbornik'' (russian: Математический сборник, abbreviated ''Mat. Sb.'') is a peer reviewed Russian mathematical journal founded by the Moscow Mathematical Society in 1866. It is the oldest successful Russian mathematical journal. The English translation is ''Sbornik: Mathematics''. It is also sometimes cited under the alternative name ''Izdavaemyi Moskovskim Matematicheskim Obshchestvom'' or its French translation ''Recueil mathématique de la Société mathématique de Moscou'', but the name ''Recueil mathématique'' is also used for an unrelated journal, '' Mathesis''. Yet another name, ''Sovetskii Matematiceskii Sbornik'', was listed in a statement in the journal in 1931 apologizing for the former editorship of Dmitri Egorov, who had been recently discredited for his religious views; however, this name was never actually used by the journal. The first editor of the journal was Nikolai Brashman, who died before its first issue (dedicated to h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moduli Stack Of Elliptic Curves
In mathematics, the moduli stack of elliptic curves, denoted as \mathcal_ or \mathcal_, is an algebraic stack over \text(\mathbb) classifying elliptic curves. Note that it is a special case of the moduli stack of algebraic curves \mathcal_. In particular its points with values in some field correspond to elliptic curves over the field, and more generally morphisms from a scheme S to it correspond to elliptic curves over S. The construction of this space spans over a century because of the various generalizations of elliptic curves as the field has developed. All of these generalizations are contained in \mathcal_. Properties Smooth Deligne-Mumford stack The moduli stack of elliptic curves is a smooth separated Deligne–Mumford stack of finite type over \text(\mathbb), but is not a scheme as elliptic curves have non-trivial automorphisms. j-invariant There is a proper morphism of \mathcal_ to the affine line, the coarse moduli space of elliptic curves, given by the ''j''-i ...

Level Structure (algebraic Geometry)
In algebraic geometry, a level structure on a space ''X'' is an extra structure attached to ''X'' that shrinks or eliminates the automorphism group of ''X'', by demanding automorphisms to preserve the level structure; attaching a level structure is often phrased as rigidifying the geometry of ''X''. In applications, a level structure is used in the construction of moduli spaces; a moduli space is often constructed as a quotient. The presence of automorphisms poses a difficulty to forming a quotient; thus introducing level structures helps overcome this difficulty. There is no single definition of a level structure; rather, depending on the space ''X'', one introduces the notion of a level structure. The classic one is that on an elliptic curve (see #Example: an abelian scheme). There is a level structure attached to a formal group called a Drinfeld level structure, introduced in . Level structures on elliptic curves Classically, level structures on elliptic curves E = \mathbb/ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Algebraic Stack
In mathematics, an algebraic stack is a vast generalization of algebraic spaces, or schemes, which are foundational for studying moduli theory. Many moduli spaces are constructed using techniques specific to algebraic stacks, such as Artin's representability theorem, which is used to construct the moduli space of pointed algebraic curves \mathcal_ and the moduli stack of elliptic curves. Originally, they were introduced by Grothendieck to keep track of automorphisms on moduli spaces, a technique which allows for treating these moduli spaces as if their underlying schemes or algebraic spaces are smooth. But, through many generalizations the notion of algebraic stacks was finally discovered by Michael Artin. Definition Motivation One of the motivating examples of an algebraic stack is to consider a groupoid scheme (R,U,s,t,m) over a fixed scheme S. For example, if R = \mu_n\times_S\mathbb^n_S (where \mu_n is the group scheme of roots of unity), U = \mathbb^n_S, s = \text_U ...

Scheme (mathematics)
In mathematics, a scheme is a mathematical structure that enlarges the notion of algebraic variety in several ways, such as taking account of multiplicities (the equations ''x'' = 0 and ''x''2 = 0 define the same algebraic variety but different schemes) and allowing "varieties" defined over any commutative ring (for example, Fermat curves are defined over the integers). Scheme theory was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck in 1960 in his treatise "Éléments de géométrie algébrique"; one of its aims was developing the formalism needed to solve deep problems of algebraic geometry, such as the Weil conjectures (the last of which was proved by Pierre Deligne). Strongly based on commutative algebra, scheme theory allows a systematic use of methods of topology and homological algebra. Scheme theory also unifies algebraic geometry with much of number theory, which eventually led to Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Formally, a scheme is a topological space together with ...
