Overview of Tate’s Thesis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of the main idea of John Tate’s 1950 PhD thesis. I will explain the methods he used without going into too much technical detail. I will also briefly demonstrate how the results of the thesis can be applied in analytic number theory.

متن کاملReview of the Collected Works of John Tate
This is a review of Collected Works of John Tate. Parts I, II, edited by Barry Mazur and Jean-Pierre Serre. AmericanMathematical Society, Providence, Rhode Island, 2016. For several decades it has been clear to the friends and colleagues of John Tate that a “Collected Works” was merited. The award of the Abel Prize to Tate in 2010 added impetus, and finally, in Tate’s ninety-second year we have...
متن کاملTate’s Thesis
Tate’s thesis, Fourier analysis in number fields and Hecke’s zeta-functions, Princeton, 1950, first appeared in print as Chapter XV of the conference proceedings Algebraic Number Theory, edited by Cassels and Frolich, published by the Thompson Book Co., Washington, D.C., in 1967. In it, Tate provides an elegant and unified treatment of the analytic continuation and functional equation of the L-...
متن کاملTate’s Thesis on Zeta Functions on Number Fields
In this paper, we examine John Tate’s seminal work calculating functional equations for zeta functions over a number field k. Tate examines both ‘local’ properties of k, completed with respect to a given norm, and ‘global’ properties. The global theory examines the idele and adele groups of k as a way of encoding information from all of the completions of k into single structures, each with its...
متن کاملOn Tate’s refinement for a conjecture of Gross and its generalization
We study Tate’s refinement for a conjecture of Gross on the values of abelian L-function at s = 0 and formulate its generalization to arbitrary cyclic extensions. We prove that our generalized conjecture is true in the case of number fields. This in particular implies that Tate’s refinement is true for any number field.
