Lecture notes on Witt vectors
The purpose of these notes is to give a self-containing introduction
to Witt vectors. We cover both the classical p-typical Witt vectors
introduced by Teichmuller and Witt and the "big" or "generalized"
Witt vectors introduced by Cartier. Finally, we discuss special
&lambda -rings and Adams operations.
