Adele ring - Adele ring In number theory, the adele ring is a topological construction applied to the field of rational numbers (or, more generally, to an algebraic number field). It involves all the completions of the field. The ring of adeles is the restricted product of all the p-adic completions and the real numbers. In this case the restricted product means that for an adele all but a finite number of the are p-adic integers. Topologically, the adeles are a locally compact group with the rational numbers contained as a discrete subgroup. The use of adele rings in connection with Fourier transforms was exploited in Tate's thesis. The ring A is much used in advanced parts of number theory, often as the coefficients in matrix groups: that is,.
