The zeta function of an order in a general algebra

Abstract

dc:description

Zeta functions have been of major importance in algebraic number theory for many years. They are useful (along with L-functions) in obtaining results concerning the asymptotic distribution of ideals in a given class. In 1980 Bushnell and Reiner were able to extend these classical results to the noncommutative case by considering the zeta function of an order in a finite dimensional semisimple Q(or Q$\sb{\rm p}$)-algebra. What happens when the condition of semisimplicity is lifted is addressed in this thesis.
