Errata

  • p. 273. the definition of Kronecker pairing (construction 6.13) is missign the application of the multiplication map

  • p. 331. the second “vertically” should be “horizontally”

  • p. 331. “with coordinated”

  • p. 333. “stable stemes”

  • p. 344. uncompiled source code “eqrefeq-general” etc.
