Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a collection of articles on algebraic and arithmetic geometry most of which were presented at a conference that took place in Miami in December 2003. … this volume will be attractive for researchers and graduate students in arithmetic geometry. The surveys provided can serve as an introduction for them and offer guidance for further study.” (Ch. Baxa, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 152 (1), September, 2007)
