Smooth compactifications of locally symmetric varieties /
Ash, Avner, 1949-
Smooth compactifications of locally symmetric varieties / Avner Ash [and others] ; with the collaboration of Peter Scholze. - Second edition. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2010. - 1 online resource (x, 230 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Cambridge mathematical library . - Cambridge mathematical library. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Basics on torus embeddings: examples -- Polyhedral reduction theory in self-adjoint cones -- Compactifications of locally symmetric varieties -- Further developments.
The new edition of this celebrated and long-unavailable book preserves the original book's content and structure and its unrivalled presentation of a universal method for the resolution of a class of singularities in algebraic geometry. At the same time, the book has been completely re-typeset, errors have been eliminated, proofs have been streamlined, the notation has been made consistent and uniform, an index has been added, and a guide to recent literature has been added. The book brings together ideas from algebraic geometry, differential geometry, representation theory and number theory, and will continue to prove of value for researchers and graduate students in these areas.
