Abstract
Introduction. The theorems of class field theory are known to hold for two kinds of fields: algebraic extensions of the rational field and algebraic extensions of a field of functions of one variable over a field of constants. We shall refer to these fields as number fields and function fields, respectively. For class field theory, the function fields must indeed be restricted to those with a Galois field as field of constants; however, we make this restriction only in §5, and until then consider fields with an arbitrary field of constants. In proving these theorems, the product formula for valuations plays an important rôle. This formula states that, for a suitable set of inequivalent valuations | | p,

p-adic numbers in physics

TL;DR: In this article, the boundary of the ordinary open string world sheet is the real line and the points on this boundary are labelled by p-adic numbers rather than real numbers, and the world sheet itself is then no longer a continous manifold but becomes a discrete homogeneous Bethe lattice.

Global Class-Field Theory

W. Narkiewicz
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss global class-field theory and expositions of classfield theory are also presented, where the aim is to describe all abelian extensions of a given algebraic number field k and at its source lies the Kronecker-Weber Theorem for k = Q, the field of rational numbers.
