Harmonic Analysis, the Trace Formula, and Shimura Varieties
Edited by: James Arthur, University of Toronto, ON, Canada, David Ellwood, Clay Mathematics Institute, Cambridge, MA, and Robert Kottwitz, University of Chicago, IL

The Clay Mathematics Institute and the AMS have published the volume Harmonic Analysis, The Trace Formula, And Shimura Varieties, edited by James Arthur, David Ellwood and Robert Kottwitz. Its stated goal is to provide an entry point into modern theory of automorphic forms, embodied in what has come to be known as the Langlands program, which proposes fundamental relations that tie arithmetic information from number theory and algebraic geometry with analytic information from harmonic analysis and group representations. The volume is centered around the trace formula and Shimura varieties and is based on the courses given at the Clay Mathematics Institute Summer School held at the Fields Institute in the summer of 2003.
