Klappentext Originally published in 1995, Cohomology of Drinfeld Modular Varieties aimed to provide an introduction, in two volumes, both to this subject and to the Langlands correspondence for function fields. These varieties are the analogues for function fields of the Shimura varieties over number fields. The Langlands correspondence is a conjectured link between automorphic forms and Galois representations over a global field. By analogy with the number-theoretic case, one expects to establish the conjecture for function fields by studying the cohomology of Drinfeld modular varieties, which has been done by Drinfeld himself for the rank two case. The present volume is devoted to the geometry of these varieties, and to the local harmonic analysis needed to compute their cohomology. Though the author considers only the simpler case of function rather than number fields, many important features of the number field case can be illustrated. Zusammenfassung Originally published in 1995! Cohomology of Drinfeld Modular Varieties provided an introduction! in two volumes! to both the subject of the title and the Langlands correspondence for function fields. It is based on courses given by the author and will be welcomed by workers in number theory and representation theory. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Construction of Drinfeld modular varieties; 2.
