by J. S. Milne
2008
Number of pages: 287
Description:
Class field theory describes the abelian extensions of a local or global field in terms of the arithmetic of the field itself. These notes contain an exposition of abelian class field theory using the algebraic/cohomological approach of Chevalley and Artin and Tate.

Lectures On Galois Cohomology of Classical Groupsby M. Kneser - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
The main result is the Hasse principle for the one-dimensional Galois cohomology of simply connected classical groups over number fields. For most groups, this result is closely related to other types of Hasse principle.
