This article seeks to provide an alternative to the “problem” approach that dominates gerontological research in many countries. In this article I propose a conceptual framework for examining the social value that older adults provide society by exploring and expanding upon social capital literature. The theoretical underpinnings of social capital are reviewed, exploring the essential component...

Let K be a complete discrete valuation field with finite residue field F of order q. We call such a field a local field. The geometric Frobenius FrF is the inverse of the map a → a in the absolute Galois group GF = Gal(F̄ /F ). The Weil group WK is defined as the inverse image of the subgroup 〈FrF 〉 ⊂ GF by the canonical map GK = Gal(K̄/K) → GF . For an element σ ∈ WK , let n(σ) denote the intege...
