Abstract |
|
Recently there has emerged a new theory of curves over a finite field. This theory is exciting in that it establishes previously unknown analogies between cyclotomic fields and function fields over a finite field. An extremely important aspect of this work is a new type of L-series for these function fields. These L-series bear quite remarkable and exciting similarities to classical L-series of number fields. The purpose of this paper is to describe these new L-series in detail. |
