Classical and Involutive Invariants of Krull Domains (K-Monographs in Mathematics)

This monograph is devoted to Krull domains and its invariants. The book shows how a serious study of invariants of Krull domains necessitates input from various fields of mathematics, including rings and module theory, commutative algebra, K-theory, cohomology theory, localization theory and algebraic geometry. About half of the book is dedicated to so-called involutive invariants, such as the involutive Brauer group, and is essentially the first to cover these topics. In a structured and methodical way, the work presents a large quantity of results previously scattered throughout the literature.

Audience: This volume is recommended as a first introduction to this rapidly developing subject, but will also be useful as a state-of-the-art reference work, both to students at graduate and postgraduate levels and to researchers in commutative rings and algebra, algebraic K-theory, algebraic geometry, and associative rings.
