Description
A central concern of number theory is the study of local-to-global principles, which describe the behavior of a global field K in terms of the behavior of various completions of K. This book looks at a specific example of a local-to-global principle: Weil's conjecture on the Tamagawa number of a semisimple algebraic group G over K. In the case wher
Reviews
"The book is written in a clear and vivid style, pays attention to foundations and details, and yet elucidates motivations and ideas. It should be highly useful for researchers working with stacks and higher category theory."---Stefan Schrer, Zentralblatt MATH
