But I do not quite understand cooper's comment. Where do you see too much elementary background in this paper? <BR/>(Perhaps it is because the headings of single chapters are a bit misleading. Chapter 2 does not define Haar measure and Chapter 6 does not define L2-functions, as one might have believed from the subtitle.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214400088145477301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264226589944705290.post-8573633268170807102008-07-02T17:31:00.000-07:002008-07-02T17:31:00.000-07:00Is it normal to have that much elementary backgrou...Is it normal to have that much elementary background in number theory articles?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
