Summary:
"Filling a gap in the literature, this text gives a solid, rigorous foundation in the subject of the arithmetic of algebraic groups and reduction theory. It follows different developments in this area, geometric as well as number theoretical, at a level suitable for graduate students and researchers in related fields"-- Provided by publisher.
