Arithmetic and Algebraic Geometry - A Mathematical Tribute to Yuri Manin

This book is a tribute to the memory of Yuri Ivanovich Manin, who passed away on January 7, 2023. Manin was one of the giants of modern mathematics. His work covered a wide range of fields, including logic, number theory, geometry, mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, and linguistics. The contributions collected here are on topics close to his life-long passion: arithmetic and algebraic geometry.
