Barsotti Symposium in Algebraic Geometry contains papers corresponding to the lectures given at the 1991 memorial meeting held in Abano Terme in honor of Iacopo Barsotti. This text reflects Barsotti's significant contributions in the field. This book is composed of 10 chapters and begins with a review of the centers of three-dimensional skylanin algebras. The succeeding chapters deal with the theoretical aspects of the Abelian varieties, Witt realization of p-Adic Barsotti-Tate Groups, and hypergeometric series and functions. These topics are followed by discussions of logarithmic spaces and the estimates for and inequalities among A-numbers. The closing chapter describes the moduli of Abelian varieties in positive characteristic. This book will be of value to mathematicians.
