Arithmetic Fundamental Groups and Noncommutative Algebra : 1999 Von Neumann Conference on Arithmetic Fundamental Groups and Noncommutative Algebra, August 16-27, 1999, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, California

The arithmetic and geometry of moduli spaces and their fundamental groups are a very active research area. This book offers a complete overview of developments made over the 1990s. The papers in this volume examine the geometry of moduli spaces of curves with a function on them.
