Hopf algebras have been shown to play a natural role in studying questions of integral module structure in extensions of local or global fields. This book surveys the state of the art in Hopf-Galois theory and Hopf-Galois module theory and can be viewed as a sequel to the first author's book, Taming Wild Extensions: Hopf Algebras and Local Galois Module Theory, which was published in 2000.The book is divided into two parts. Part I is more algebraic and focuses on Hopf-Galois structures on Galois field extensions, as well as the connection between this topic and the theory of skew braces. Part II is more number theoretical and studies the application of Hopf algebras to questions of integral module structure in extensions of local or global fields.Graduate students and researchers with a general background in graduate-level algebra, algebraic number theory, and some familiarity with Hopf algebras will appreciate the overview of the current state of this exciting area and the suggestions for numerous avenues for further research and investigation.

Inhaltsangabe:

In a sequel to their 2000 Taming Wild Extensions: Hopf Algebras and Local Galois Module Theory, Childs and colleagues survey the state of the art in Hopf-Galois theory and Hopf-Galois module theory. They begin with an algebraic approach, focusing on Hopf-Galois structures on Galois field extension, and how they are related to the theory of skew braces. Then they shift to a perspective more informed by number theory and study the application of Hopf algebras to questions of integral module structure in extensions of local or global fields.
