Ooh, nice a discussion of complex multiplication. I first heard about this a few weeks ago during the Mathematical Congress of the Americas, and I was a bit embarrassed to admit (to a group of number theorists) that I had never even heard about this. They were happy to explain the basic idea, although I still need a lot of time to digest the mechanics of it.
- stablemap 9y agoIt's a third year course! If you want a more leisurely treatment I hear good things about Cox's book "Primes of the Form x²+ny²". Even if you don't reach the CM part you will have gained a lot of motivation for it, all the way back to Disquisitiones.
- jordigh 9y agoOoh, that's related? I've read through parts of Cox but hadn't gotten deep enough to realise that he does CM! Thanks for the hint!
