First sentence: The two major trends in number theory, automorphic and arithmetic, were initiated hand in hand in the mid nineteenth century by Kronecker and Kummer.
Description: "This book covers the following three topics in a manner accessible to graduate students who have an understanding of algebraic number theory and scheme theoretic algebraic geometry: an elementary construction of Shimura varieties as moduli of abelian schemes; p-adic deformation theory of automorphic forms on Shimura varieties; and a simple proof of irreducibility of the generalized Igusa tower over the Shimura variety."--BOOK JACKET.
