Hilbert Modular Surfaces

Over the last 15 years important results have been achieved in the field of <i>Hilbert Modular</i> Varieties. Though the main emphasis of this book is on the geometry of Hilbert modular surfaces, both geometric and arithmetic aspects are treated. An abundance of examples - in fact a whole chapter - completes this competent presentation of the subject. This <i>Ergebnisbericht</i> will soon become an indispensible tool for graduate students and researchers in this field.
