About this title

Synopsis

Cohomology of Drinfeld Modular Varieties aims to provide an introduction to both the subject of the title and the Langlands correspondence for function fields. These varieties are the analogs for function fields of Shimura varieties over number fields. This present volume is devoted to the geometry of these varieties and to the local harmonic analysis needed to compute their cohomology. To keep the presentation as accessible as possible, the author considers the simpler case of function rather than number fields; nevertheless, many important features can still be illustrated. It will be welcomed by workers in number theory and representation theory.

Book Description

Originally published in 1995, Cohomology of Drinfeld Modular Varieties provided an introduction, in two volumes, to both the subject of the title and the Langlands correspondence for function fields. It is based on courses given by the author and will be welcomed by workers in number theory and representation theory.
