p Adic Analysis, Arithmetic And Singularities

This is the revised second edition of the well-received book by the first two authors. It offers a systematic treatment of the theory of vector bundles with integrable connection on smooth algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic 0. Special attention is paid to singularities along divisors at infinity, and to the corresponding distinction between regular and irregular singularities. The topic is first discussed in detail in dimension 1, with a wealth of examples, and then in higher dimension using the method of restriction to transversal curves.
