In this paper, we study pointed rank one Hopf algebras and Hopf-Ore extensions of group algebras, over an arbitrary field $k$. It is proved that the rank of a Hopf-Ore extension of a group algebra is one or two or infinite. It is also shown…
We prove some new results on the arithmetic of abelian varieties over function fields of one variable over finitely generated (infinite) fields. Among other things, we introduce certain new natural objects `discrete Selmer groups' and…
p-Gerbes are a generalization of bundles that have (p+2)-form field strengths. We develop their properties and use them to show that every theory of p-gerbes can be reinterpreted as a gauge theory containing p-dimensional extended objects.…
The Tate conjecture for divisors on varieties over number fields is equivalent to finiteness of $\ell$-primary torsion in the Brauer group. We show that this finiteness is actually uniform in one-dimensional families for varieties that…
Let $F$ be a local field over $\mathbf{Q}_p$ or $\mathbf{F}_p((t))$, and let $D$ be a central simple division algebra over $F$ of degree $d$. In the $p$-adic case, we assume $p>de+1$ where $e$ is the ramification degree over $\mathbf{Q}_p$;…
Let $PU_n$ the projective unitary group of rank $n$ and $BPU_n$ its classifying space. For an odd prime $p$, we extend previous results to a compete description of $H^s(BPU_n;\mathbb{Z})_{(p)}$ for $s<2p+5$ by showing that the $p$-primary…
We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…
We study cohomology with coefficients in a rank one local system on the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes $\A$. The cohomology plays an important role for the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions. We combine several…
Let $p\not =\ell$ be primes. We study the etale cohomology $H^{*}_{et}(BGL_n(\bF_{p^s});\bZ/{\ell})$ over the algebraically closed field $\bar \bF_p$ by using the stratification methods from Molina-Vistoli. To compute this cohomology, we…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian variety over a number field, with a good reduction at a prime ideal containing a prime number $p$. Denote by ${\rm A}$ an abelian variety over a finite field of characteristic $p$, obtained by the reduction…
We define a variant of normal basis, called a {\em Galois scaffolding}, that allows for an easy determination of valuation, and has implications for Galois module structure. We identify fully ramified, elementary abelian extensions of local…
For unitary groups associated to a ramified quadratic extension of a $p$-adic field, we define various regular formal moduli spaces of $p$-divisible groups with parahoric levels, characterize exceptional special divisors on them, and…
Restricted twisted Heisenberg Lie superalgebras are studied over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 0. We determine the restricted structures and use the ordinary 1- and 2-cohomology spaces with trivial coefficients to…
For a finite smooth algebraic group $F$ over a field $k$ and a smooth algebraic group $\bar G$ over the separable closure of $k$, we define the notion of $F$-kernel in $\bar G$ and we associate to it a set of nonabelian 2-cohomology. We use…
We develop a mechanism for classication of isomorphism types of non-trivial semisimple Hopf algebras whose group of grouplikes $G(H)$ is abelian of prime index $p$ which is the smallest prime divisor of $|G(H)|$. We describe structure of…
We introduce and study translation numbers for automorphisms of principal $\mathbb{Z}$-bundles and flat principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundles. We use them to show a vanishing result of a characteristic class of foliated bundles and to detect…
We examine the phenomenon of capitulation of the $p$-class group $H_K$ of a real number field $K$ in totally ramified cyclic p-extensions $L/K$ of degree $p^N$. Using an elementary property of the algebraic norm $\nu_{L/K}$, we show that…
As a part of our program for Geometric Arithmetic, we develop an arithmetic cohomology theory for number fields using theory of locally compact groups.
Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…
In this paper we use ideas of the non-abelian Iwasawa main conjecture to prove a result about the first Galois cohomology of continuous Galois modules V_p(j) for large Tate-twist j and V_p a Q_p vector space. We show that under a technical…
