ALGEBRAIC AND ANALYTIC ASPECTS OF ZETA FUNCTIONS AND L-FUNCTIONS: LECTURES AT THE FRENCH-JAPANESE WINTER SCHOOL

This volume contains lectures presented at the French–Japanese Winter School on Zeta and L-functions, held at Muira, Japan, 2008. The main aim of the School was to study various aspects of zeta and L-functions with special emphasis on recent developments. A series of detailed lectures were given by experts in topics that include height zeta-functions, spherical functions and Igusa zeta-functions, multiple zeta values and multiple zeta-functions, classes of Euler products of zeta-functions, and L-functions associated with modular forms. This volume should be helpful to future generations in their study of the fascinating theory of zeta and L-functions.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets
