Collected Papers I

In 1996 the AMS awarded Goro Shimura the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement :" To Goro Shimura for his important and extensive work on arithmetical geometry and automorphic forms; concepts introduced by him were often seminal, and fertile ground for new developments, as witnessed by the many notations in number theory that carry his name and that have long been familiar to workers in the field.." 103 of Shimura´s most important papers are collected in four volumes. Volume I contains his mathematical papers from 1954 to 1966 and some notes to the articles.

• Abelian varieties
• algebra
• automorphic forms
• cohomology
• field
• number theory
• zeta function

From the reviews:

"This book is the first in a row of four announced volumes. It covers the period 1954-1966 during which Goro Shimura produced more than thirty publications. … Important contributions concerning the zeta function of an algebraic variety and automorphic functions are featured. … the mimeographed 1964 lecture notes by Shimura appear in a final form. They are completed by fascinating historical notes and comments made by the author … ." (Jean-Paul Pier, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1008, 2003)
