In this paper we investigate the Tate--Shafarevich group Sha^1(k, T) of a multinorm-one torus $T$ over a global field $k$. We establish a few functorial maps among cohomology groups and explore their relations. Using these properties and…

Extensive work has been done to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a bijective correspondence of abelian extensions of number fields to force an isomorphism of the base fields. However, explicit examples of correspondences…

The paper establishes new relationship between cohomology, extensions and automorphisms of quandles. We derive a four term exact sequence relating quandle 1-cocycles, second quandle cohomology and certain group of automorphisms of an…

These are notes of my lectures at the summer school "Higher-dimensional geometry over finite fields" in Goettingen, June--July 2007. We present a proof of Tate's theorem on homomorphisms of abelian varieties over finite fields (including…

We study the groups in the unit filtration of a finite abelian extension K of the field of p-adic numbers. We determine explicit generators of these groups as modules over the pro-p group ring of the Galois group of K over the p-adic…

We extend the definition of the unramified curve-tame cohomology groups to $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant \'etale sheaves under some additional hypotheses. We define a pairing of this group with the Suslin homology satisfying desirable properties…

We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold partition function. We review how this irregularity is…

For a prime number p and a number field k, we first study certain etale cohomology groups with coefficients associated to a p-adic Artin representation of its Galois group, where we twist the coefficients using a modified Tate twist with a…

We investigate the group of normalized units of the group algebra $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}G$ of a finite abelian $p$-group $G$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}$ of residues modulo $p^e$ with $e\geq 1$.

For an odd prime p and a number field F containing a primitive p-th root of unity, we describe the Kummer radical A_F of the first layers of all the Z_p-extensions of F in terms of universal norms of p-units along the cyclotomic tower of F…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. Let $N$ be a fully ramified, elementary abelian extension of $K$. Under a mild hypothesis on the extension $N/K$, we show that…

We consider the distribution of p-power group schemes among the torsion of abelian varieties over finite fields of characteristic p, as follows. Fix natural numbers g and n, and let $\xi$ be a non-supersingular principally quasipolarized…

For a certain class of vector bundles E on abelian varieties A over local fields containing all line bundles algebraically equivalent to zero we define a canonical representation of the Tate module of A on the fibre of E in the zero…

For an odd prime $p$, we determine the $p$-primary component of the Farrell cohomology of the pure mapping class groups of a non orientable surface of genus $p$ with $k\geqslant 1$ marked points. To do this, we classify conjugacy classes of…

These are detailed notes on a variant of the non-abelian cohomology developed by Minhyong Kim in arXiv:0409456 (published in Invent. Math.) to study rational points of varieties over number fields. The current variant is used in…

The result of this paper is the determination of the cohomology of Artin groups of type A_n, B_n and \tilde{A}_{n} with non-trivial local coefficients. The main result is an explicit computation of the cohomology of the Artin group of type…

We study analogues of Tate's conjecture on homomorphisms for abelian varieties when the ground field is finitely generated over an algebraic closure of a finite field. Our results cover the case of abelian varieties without nontrivial…

We construct a central extension of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented odd dimensional smooth manifold, generalizing that of the loop group of the circle. While the central extension turns out to be trivial for a…

In this paper, we introduce a geometrically stylized arithmetic cohomology for number fields. Based on such a cohomology, we define and study new yet genuine non-abelian zeta functions for number fields, using an intersection stability.
