This exploration of the relation between periods and transcendental numbers brings Baker's theory of linear forms in logarithms into its most general framework, the theory of 1-motives. Written by leading experts in the field, it contains original results and finalises the theory of linear relations of 1-periods, answering long-standing questions in transcendence theory. It provides a complete exposition of the new theory for researchers, but also serves as an introduction to transcendence for graduate students and newcomers. It begins with foundational material, including a review of the theory of commutative algebraic groups and the analytic subgroup theorem as well as the basics of singular homology and de Rham cohomology. Part II addresses periods of 1-motives, linking back to classical examples like the transcendence of p, before the authors turn to periods of algebraic varieties in Part III. Finally, Part IV aims at a dimension formula for the space of periods of a 1-motive in terms of its data.

This work answers long-standing open questions in transcendence theory and finalises the theory of linear relations of 1-periods. It serves as a detailed and modern introduction for graduate students and young researchers to the beautiful world of transcendence. The authors include foundational material and link examples back to classical results.

Recenzijos

' the book under review is surely a foundational work, which finally settles many open conjectures involving periods of curves. It has also the merit of providing references and proofs for a vast amount of foundational material, including many variants of the theory of motives. As such, it will surely become a standard reference for many works to come.' Riccardo Pengo, zbMATH Open
