This note was prepared as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields", taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. It presents a proof of a necessary condition for the solvability of algebraic equations by…
We present an algorithm that determines the Galois group of linear difference equations with rational function coefficients.
Counting number fields with prescribed Galois group is an enduring challenge in arithmetic statistics. Using the determinant method, we provide an upper bound for even groups, which is new in some cases.
In this work we generalize the concept of product by generators to the class of solvable Lie algebras. We analyze the number of invariants by the coadjoint representation by means of Maurer-Cartan equations and give some applications to…
Let C be an algebraically closed field and X a projective curve over C. Consider an ordinary linear differential equation, or a linear differ- ence equation, with coefficients in the field of rational functions of X, and assume that its…
A strategy to address the inverse Galois problem over Q consists of exploiting the knowledge of Galois representations attached to certain automorphic forms. More precisely, if such forms are carefully chosen, they provide compatible…
In this paper we develop a theory of class invariants associated to $p$-adic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields. Our main tool for doing this involves a new way of describing certain Selmer groups attached to…
We develop the representation theory for reductive linear differential algebraic groups (LDAGs). In particular, we exhibit an explicit sharp upper bound for orders of derivatives in differential representations of reductive LDAGs, extending…
This paper provides a realization of all classical and most exceptional finite groups of Lie type as Galois groups over function fields over F_q and derives explicit additive polynomials for the extensions. Our unified approach is based on…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the algebraicity behavior of reductions of $D$-finite power series modulo prime numbers. For many classes of D-finite functions, such as diagonals of multivariate algebraic series or hypergeometric…
For each of the groups PSL2(F25), PSL2(F32), PSL2(F49), PGL2(F25), and PGL2(F27), we display the first explicitly known polynomials over Q having that group as Galois group. Each polynomial is related to a Galois representation associated…
We apply compact group theory to obtain some model-theoretic results about the relativized Lascar Galois group of a strong type.
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
Let $C \langle t_1, \dots t_l\rangle$ be the differential field generated by $l$ differential indeterminates $\boldsymbol{t}=(t_1, \dots ,t_l)$ over an algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic zero. We develop a lower bound…
We introduce equivariant L-genera associated to actions of Galois and related groups on algebraic varieties. We explain the role which these L-genera play in the spectral analysis of Eisenstein series. We also discuss the natural…
We study invariance properties of Colombeau generalized functions under actions of smooth Lie transformation groups. Several characterization results analogous to the smooth setting are derived and applications to generalized rotational…
We develop a Galois theory for systems of linear difference equations with an action of an endomorphism {\sigma}. This provides a technique to test whether solutions of such systems satisfy {\sigma}-polynomial equations and, if yes, then…
A Galois correspondence theorem is proved for the case of inverse semigroups acting orthogonally on commutative rings as a consequence of the Galois correspondence theorem for groupoid actions. To this end, we use a classic result of…
In the first part of this paper we try to explain to a general mathematical audience some of the remarkable web of conjectures linking representations of Galois groups with algebraic geometry, complex analysis and discrete subgroups of Lie…
Let $P\in\mathbb Q[t,x]$ be a polynomial in two variables with rational coefficients, and let $G$ be the Galois group of $P$ over the field $\mathbb Q(t)$. It follows from Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem that for most rational numbers $c$…
