Summary
A central concern of number theory is the study of local-to-global principles, which describe the behavior of a global field K in terms of the behavior of various completions of K. This book looks at a specific example of a local-to-global principle: Weil’s conjecture on the Tamagawa number of a semisimple algebraic group G over K. In the case where K is the function field of an algebraic curve X, this conjecture counts the number of G-bundles on X (global information) in terms of the redu…

Critics Review
“The book is written in a clear and vivid style, pays attention to foundations and details, and yet elucidates motivations and ideas. It should be highly useful for researchers working with stacks and higher category theory.”—Stefan Schröer, Zentralblatt MATH
