| Summary: | A short historical and mathematical overview of the theory of regulators from its number theoretic origins, and its connections to analysis, topology, differential geometry, and algebra, is presented by the editors in the introduction, with key topics noted as follows: hyperbolic volume and the Borel regulator, the Chern-Simons invariant, the Bloch-Beilinson regulator, polylogarithms (classical and elliptic), and analytic torsion."--Jacket. "This work is an outgrowth of a conference held at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem on Regulators in Analysis, Geometry and Number Theory, and should appeal to a broad audience of graduate students and research mathematicians."--Jacket. |
