Algebra, Arithmetic and Geometry with Applications: Papers from Shreeram S. Abhyankar's 70th Birthday Conference

The proceedings of the Conference on Algebra and Algebraic Geometry with Applications, held July 2000, Purdue University. The conference was held in honor of Professor Shreeram S. Abhyankar's seventieth birthday. Invited participants included eighty-five of the professor's students, collaborators, and colleagues. Sixty participants presented papers related to Professor Abhyankar's broad areas of mathematical interest. Topics covered include: algebraic geometry, singularities, group theory, Galois theory, combinatorics, Drinfield modules, affine geometry, and the Jacobian problem. This volume contains an outstanding collection of papers by expert.
