arXiv:0804.3888
Abstract
This is the first part of a 2 part survey on the functor of the big and p-adic Witt vectors.
This is the first part (of two parts) of a survey on the Witt vectors. A preprint version of a chapter for the Handbook of Algebra. There are 148 pages. Comments, criticims, suggestions, etc. welcome
