Review text

This is a talk held in a concluding session of the summer school in Pune, 1999 (see above). The author briefly surveys the topics discussed. These include, besides results from classical algebraic number theory and class field theory, a few main points of \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions and Iwasawa theory as well as ideas in Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. As a supplement to the main text, some nice arguments are presented in detail. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0977.00024].
