This volume honors Sir Peter Swinnerton-Dyer's mathematical career spanning more than 60 years' of amazing creativity in number theory and algebraic geometry.
Graduate students typically enter into courses on string theory having little to no familiarity with the mathematical background so crucial to the discipline. A
The study of special cases of elliptic curves goes back to Diophantos and Fermat, and today it is still one of the liveliest centers of research in number theor
