 Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics 2001; 631 pp; hardcover Volume: 30 ISBN-10: 4-931469-11-6 ISBN-13: 978-4-931469-11-2 Order Code: ASPM/30 This volume is a collection of articles contributed by the speakers at the Mathematical Society of Japan's Seventh International Research Institute entitled, "Class Field Theory-Its Centenary and Prospect", held in Tokyo in June 1998. Some of the articles are expository; they discuss important interesting aspects of class field theory and contain full references. Other articles are historical; they vividly explain how leading number theorists in Europe and Japan developed and exchanged their mathematical ideas. Volumes in this series are freely available electronically 5 years post-publication. Published for the Mathematical Society of Japan by Kinokuniya, Tokyo, and distributed worldwide, except in Japan, by the AMS.
