We characterize characteristic polynomials of elements in a central simple algebra. We also give an account for the theory of rational canonical forms for separable linear transformations over a central division algebra, and a description…

Let A be a subspace arrangement and let chi(A,t) be the characteristic polynomial of its intersection lattice L(A). We show that if the subspaces in A are taken from L(B_n), where B_n is the type B Weyl arrangement, then chi(A,t) counts a…

Let $L(X)$ be a monic $q$-linearized polynomial over $F_q$ of degree $q^n$, where $n$ is an odd prime. Recently Gow and McGuire showed that the Galois group of $L(X)/X-t$ over the field of rational functions $F_q(t)$ is $GL_n(q)$ unless…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

Proofs that an arbitrary field has a separable closure are necessarily non-constructive, and separable closures are unique only up to non-canonical isomorphism. This means that the absolute Galois group of a field is defined only up to…

The injective polynomial modules for a general linear group $G$ of degree $n$ are labelled by the partitions with at most $n$ parts. Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we consider the question of which…

This paper develops from scratch a theory of Galois rings and orders over arbitrary fields. Our approach is different from others in the literature in that there is no non-modularity assumption. We prove, when the field is algebraically…

We show that there are at most $O_{n,\epsilon}(H^{n-2+\sqrt{2}+\epsilon})$ monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ having height at most $H$ and Galois group different from the full symmetric group $S_n$, improving on the previous 1973…

Given a $p$-adic field $K$ and a prime number $\ell$, we count the total number of the isomorphism classes of $p^\ell$-extensions of $K$ having no intermediate fields. Moreover for each group that can appear as Galois group of the normal…

The classical Maass Spezialschar is a Hecke-stable subspace of the level one holomorphic Siegel modular forms of genus two cut out by certain linear relations between their Fourier coefficients. We define an analogous quaternionic Maass…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…

We introduce and study symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic lattice models with $\Delta=\pm 1/2$. There is also a close relation to…

For every number field and every Cartan Killing type, there is an associated split simple algebraic group. We examine whether the corresponding arithmetic subgroups are profinitely solitary so that the commensurability class of the…

We say that a monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N$ is monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for ${\mathbb Z}_K$, the ring of integers of…

Let $K$ be a global field of characteristic different from 2 and $u(x)\in K[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of even degree $2g\ge 6$, whose Galois group over $K$ is either the full symmetric group $S_{2g}$ or the alternating group…

We give a complete answer to the analogue of Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over K(x), where K is any finitely generated extension of Q and q\in K can be either a transcendental or an algebraic…

We study the geometry of a Picard modular fourfold which parametrizes abelian fourfolds of Weil type for the field of cube roots of unity. We find a projective model of this fourfold as a singular, degree ten, hypersurface X in projective…

Let $G$ be a transitive subgroup of $S_d$ and $E$ be a CM field of degree $2d$ with a maximal totally real $G$-field. If the Galois group of the Galois closure of $E$ is isomorphic to the wreath product of $C_2$ and $G$, then we say that…

We introduce G{\aa}rding polynomials, a class of real multivariate polynomials characterized by positivity regions that are invariant under translation by positive vectors and closed under strictly positive affine transformations. We prove…

When k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and H is a non-semisimple monomial Hopf algebra, we show that all Galois objects over H are determined up to H-comodule algebra isomorphism by their polynomial H-identities,…
