This collection of expository articles grew out of the workshop "Number Theory and Physics" held in March 2009 at the The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics, Vienna. The common theme of the articles is the influence of ideas from noncommutative ge…
"The development of Maxim Kontsevich's initial ideas on motivic integration has unexpectedly influenced many other areas of mathematics, ranging from the Langlands program over harmonic analysis, to non-Archimedean analysis, singularity theory and birational geometry. This [work…

This book is an account of how zeta and L-functions have helped shape number theory, combining standard and less standard material, some of which cannot be found elsewhere in the literature. Particular attention is paid to the development of ideas: quotes from original sources …
