Geometric Galois Actions
This book surveys progress in the domains described in the hitherto unpublished manuscript 'Esquisse d'un Programme' (Sketch of a Program) by Alexander Grothendieck. It will be of wide interest amongst workers in algebraic geometry, number theory, algebra and topology.
- Unique publication of two manuscripts by Grothendieck
- Opening of new domains in mathematics
- Introductory clarifying texts
