Convolution and Equidistribution explores an important aspect of number theory--the theory of exponential sums over finite fields and their Mellin transforms--from a new, categorical point of view. The book presents fundamentally important results and a plethora of examples, opening up new directions in the subject. The finite-field Mellin transform (of a function on the multiplicative group of a finite field) is defined by summing that function against variable multiplicative characters. The basic question considered in the book is how the values of the Mellin transform are distributed (in a probabilistic sense), in cases where the input function is suitably algebro-geometric. ...

Reviews for Convolution and Equidistribution: Sato-Tate Theorems for Finite-Field Mellin Transforms (AM-180)
"The book is written in a clear and enlightening style. The author provides the reader with many examples that are developed throughout a dozen chapters. These examples help understand and clarify the depth and the variety of applications of the beautiful main equidistribution statement that relies on rather complicated and subtle algebrageometric arguments."
