The cradle of arthmetic topology

Japanese version

Recently, on B. Mazur's home page, an article tilted "Remarks on the Alexander Polynomial" he presents that Alexander polynomials (modules) directly are related to Iwasawa theory, and that the origin of this idea comes from D. Mumford's idea. I was impressed by the paper is the introduction of Dr. Lieven "cradle of arithmetic topology."
