Contemporary Mathematics: Ultrametric Functional Analysis : Eighth International Conference on P-Adic Functional Analysis, July 5-9, 2004, Universit Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France (Paperback)

With contributions by leading mathematicians, this proceedings volume reflects the program of the Eighth International Conference on $p$-adic Functional Analysis held at Blaise Pascal University (Clermont-Ferrand, France). Articles in the book offer a comprehensive overview of research in the area. A wide range of topics are covered, including basic ultrametric functional analysis, topological vector spaces, measure and integration, Choquet theory, Banach and topological algebras, analytic functions (in particular, in connection with algebraic geometry), roots of rational functions and Frobenius structure in p-adic differential equations, and q-ultrametric calculus. The material is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in number theory, functional analysis, and algebra.
