Let $p$ be a prime, and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$, with absolute Galois group $\cal{G}_K$. Let $\pi$ be a uniformizer of $K$ and let $K_\infty$ be the Kummer extension obtained by adjoining to $K$ a system of…

In the mid-1960s Borevic and Faddeev initiated the study of the Galois module structure of groups of pth-power classes of cyclic extensions K/F of pth-power degree. They determined the structure of these modules in the case when F is a…

Graded-division algebras are building blocks in the theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras graded by a group G. If G is abelian, they can be described, using a loop construction, in terms of central simple graded-division…

We describe the exact G-module F* for any cyclic extension F/K of locals fields of characteristic zero, where G is the Galois group of F/K. We also describe a parametrized space Wa,b,m,n which is most often a direct factor in F*.

Let $K$ be a local field and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified Galois extension of degree $p^n$. Being semistable and possessing a Galois scaffold are two conditions which facilitate the computation of the additive Galois module structure of…

This paper studies the structure of the Mordell--Weil groups of semiabelian varieties over algebraic extensions of number fields whose absolute Galois group is finitely generated, with particular emphasis on that generated by a single…

Let $K$ be any finite extension of $Q_{p}$, $L$ any finite Galois extension of $K$ and $E$ any finite large enough coefficient field containing $L$. We classify two-dimensional, F-semistable $E$-representations of $G_{K}$, by listing the…

We construct the Cartier duality equivalence for affine commutative group schemes $G$ whose coordinate ring is a flat Mittag-Leffler module over an arbitrary base ring $R$. The dual $G^\vee$ of $G$ turns out to be an ind-finite ind-scheme…

We introduce and study a class of field extensions that we call pre-Galois; viz. extensions that become Galois after some linearly disjoint Galois base change. Among them are geometrically Galois extensions of k(T), with k a field:…

This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…

Let K/F be a cyclic field extension of odd prime degree. We consider Galois embedding problems involving Galois groups with common quotient Gal(K/F) such that corresponding normal subgroups are indecomposable Fp[Gal(K/F)]-modules. For these…

Galois cohomology groups $H^i(K,M)$ are widely used in algebraic number theory, in such contexts as Selmer groups of elliptic curves, Brauer groups of fields, class field theory, and Iwasawa theory. The standard construction of these groups…

We develop a Galois theory of commutative rings under actions of finite inverse semigroups. We present equivalences for the definition of Galois extension as well as a Galois correspondence theorem. We also show how the theory behaves in…

We determine the Galois module structure of the parameterizing space of elementary $p$-abelian extensions of a field $K$ when $\text{Gal}(K/F)$ is any finite $p$-group, under the assumption that the maximal pro-$p$ quotient of the absolute…

Let F/k be a Galois extension of number fields with dihedral Galois group of order 2q, where q is an odd integer. We express a certain quotient of S-class numbers of intermediate fields, arising from Brauer-Kuroda relations, as a unit…

For every finite field F and every positive integer r, there exists a finite extension F' of F such that either SO(2r+1,F') or its simple derived group can be realized as a Galois group over Q. If the characteristic of F is 3 or 5 (mod 8),…

We use Galois cohomology to study the $p$-rank of the class group of $\mathbf{Q}(N^{1/p})$, where $N \equiv 1 \bmod{p}$ is prime. We prove a partial converse to a theorem of Calegari--Emerton, and provide a new explanation of the known…

We investigate the first two Galois cohomology groups of $p$-extensions over a base field which does not necessarily contain a primitive $p$th root of unity. We use twisted coefficients in a systematic way. We describe field extensions…

A Galois scaffold, in a Galois extension of local fields with perfect residue fields, is an adaptation of the normal basis to the valuation of the extension field, and thus can be applied to answer questions of Galois module structure. Here…

Recently, much work has been done to investigate Galois module structure of local field extensions, particularly through the use of Galois scaffolds. Given a totally ramified $p$-extension of local fields $L/K$, a Galois Scaffold gives us a…
