We prove that the standard conjecture of Hodge type holds for powers of abelian threefolds. Along the way, we also prove the conjecture for powers of simple abelian variety of prime dimension over finite fields, and in other related cases…
Let $k$ be a number field, $K/k$ a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G$, $\chi$ a faithful character of $G$. We prove that the Artin L-function $L(s,\chi,K/k)$ determines the Galois closure of $K$ over $\Q$. In the special case…
The `Congruence Conjecture' was developed by the second author in a previous paper. It provides a conjectural explicit reciprocity law for a certain element associated to an abelian extension of a totally real number field whose existence…
We discuss a possible generalisation of a conjecture of Bley, Burns and Hahn concerning the relation between the second Adams-operator twisted Galois-Gauss sums of weakly ramified Artin characters and the square root of the inverse…
We introduce an integral version of the Eisenstein cocycle. As applications we prove a conjecture of Gross regarding the "order of vanishing" of Stickelberger elements relative to an abelian tower of fields and give a cohomological…
The theory of Weil-Stark elements is used to develop an axiomatic approach to the formulation of refined versions of Stark's Conjecture. This gives concrete new results concerning leading terms of Artin $L$-series and arithmetic properties…
We introduce the universal unitarily graded A-algebra for a commutative ring A and an arbitrary abelian extension U of the group of units of A, and use this concept to give simplified proofs of the main theorems of co-Galois theory in the…
Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field F, A the abelian surface E x E, and T_F(A) the F-rational albanese kernel of A, which is a subgroup of the degree zero part of Chow group of zero cycles on A modulo rational equivalence. The…
We prove a formula for the $\infty$-adic special $L$-value of abelian $t$-modules. This gives function field analogues of the class number formula. We also express it in terms of the extension groups of shtukas.
The strong no loop conjecture states that a simple module of finite projective dimension over an artin algebra has no non-zero self-extension. The main result of this paper establishes this well known conjecture for finite dimensional…
In this paper we obtain the genus field of a general Kummer extension of a global rational function field. We study first the case of a general Kummer extension of degree a power of a prime. Then we prove that the genus field of a composite…
Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus >1 over a field K which is finitely generated over the rationals. The section conjecture in Grothendieck's anabelian geometry says that the sections of the canonical projection from the arithmetic…
Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. Let p be a rational prime and let r be a non-positive integer. By examining the structure of the p-adic group ring Z_p[G], we prove many new cases of the p-part of…
We present a method to determine Frobenius elements in arbitrary Galois extensions of global fields, which may be seen as a generalisation of Euler's criterion. It is a part of the general question how to compare splitting fields and…
We give an introduction to generalisations of conjectures of Brumer and Stark on the annihilator of the class group of a number field. We review the relation to the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture, the main conjecture of Iwasawa…
We study the special values of the triple product $p$-adic $L$-function constructed by Darmon and Rotger at all classical points outside the region of interpolation. We propose conjectural formulas for these values that can be seen as…
Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L/K)$. We show that under certain hypotheses on $G$, for a fixed prime number $p$, Leopoldt's conjecture at $p$ for certain proper intermediate fields of $L/K$ implies…
We give the complete proof of a conjecture of Georges Gras which claims that, for any extension $K/k$ of number fields in which at least one infinite place is totally split, every ideal $I$ of $K$ principalizes in the compositum $Kk^{ab}$…
The equivariant `main conjecture' of Iwasawa theory is shown to hold for a Galois extension $K/k$ of number fields with Galois group an $l$-adic pro-$l$ Lie group of dimension 1 containing an abelian subgroup of index $l$, provided that…
Let $A$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety without (potential) complex multiplication, defined over the number field $K$. Suppose that either $\dim A=2$ or $A$ is of $\operatorname{GL}_2$-type: we give an explicit bound $\ell_0(A,K)$…
