Summary

Reciprocity laws of various kinds play a central role in number theory. This book states several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions. It also covers the zeta function of an abelian variety as a main theme.

"[This book] is a beautifully written, self-contained and complete treatment of a subject of which GShimura is a founding master, and is a fundamental reference for any researcher or student of the antimetric theory of abelian varieties and modular functions, and in particular of its applications to class field theory."--Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
Goro Shimura is Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University. He was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize in 1996 for lifetime achievement in mathematics by the American Mathematical Society. He is the author of Introduction to Arithmetic Theory of Automorphic Functions (Princeton).
