"The main aim of the book is to give an account of Hida's results on arithmetic invariants in an accessible way. ... The book is intended for mathematicians with some background on modular forms and is worthwhile for both graduate students and experts. ... There are numerous examples, exercises, and remarks, all aimed at carefully helping the reader. In conclusion, this book is a very welcome addition to the mathematical literature." (Florian Sprung, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2015) "The author gives in this book a detailed account of results concerning arithmetic invariants, including -invariant and L-invariant. ... it contains a detailed account of the author's recent results concerning arithmetic invariants. The book, addressed to advanced graduate students and experts working in number theory and arithmetic geometry, is a welcome addition to this beautiful and difficult area of research."
