Let $K/\Q$ be a cyclic extension of number fields with Galois group $G$. We study the ideal classes of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ of residue degree bigger than one in the class group of $K$. In particular, we explore such extensions…

Let G be the product of an abelian variety and a torus defined over a number field K. Let R be a point in G(K) and let L be a finitely generated subgroup of G(K). Suppose that for all but finitely many primes p of K the point (R mod p)…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic zero with residue field $k_K$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with the Galois group $G$ and suppose that the induced extension of residue fields…

We study the distribution of extensions of a number field $k$ with fixed abelian Galois group $G$, from which a given finite set of elements of $k$ are norms. In particular, we show the existence of such extensions. Along the way, we show…

Let $A$ be a $g$-dimensional abelian variety over $\mathbb{Q}$ whose adelic Galois representation has open image in $\text{GSp}_{2g} \widehat{\mathbb{Z}}$. We investigate the endomorphism algebras $\text{End}(A_p) \otimes \mathbb{Q} =…

The main purpose of this paper is to extend results on isomorphism types of the abelianized absolute Galois group $\mathcal G_K^{ab}$, where $K$ denotes imaginary quadratic field. In particular, we will show that if the class number $h_K$…

Let $L$ and $M$ be two algebraically closed fields contained in some common larger field. It is obvious that the intersection $C=L\cap M$ is also algebraically closed. Although the compositum $LM$ is obviously perfect, there is no reason…

Let p be a fixed prime number. Let K be a totally real number field of discriminant D\_K and let T\_K be the torsion group of the Galois group of the maximal abelian p-ramified pro-p-extension of K (under Leopoldt's conjecture). We…

Suppose that $K$ is an infinite field which is large (in the sense of Pop) and whose first order theory is simple. We show that $K$ is {\em bounded}, namely has only finitely many separable extensions of any given finite degree. We also…

We study forms $I=(f_1,\ldots,f_r)$, $\deg f_i=d_i$, in $F$ which is the free associative algebra $k\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle$ or the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, where $k$ is a field and $\deg x_i=1$ for all $i$. We say that…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of $p$-adic fields with group $G$. It is well-known that $\mathcal{O}_L$ contains a free $\mathcal{O}_K[G]$-submodule of finite index. We study the minimal index of such a free submodule, and determine…

A classical tool in the study of real closed fields are the fields $K((G))$ of generalized power series (i.e., formal sums with well-ordered support) with coefficients in a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and exponents in an ordered abelian…

A variety X over a field K is of Hilbert type if the set of rational points X(K) is not thin. We prove that if f: X\to S is a dominant morphism of K-varieties and both S and all fibers f^{-1}(s), s in S(K), are of Hilbert type, then so is…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension whose Galois group $G$ is non-abelian and characteristically simple. Using tools from graph theory, we shall give a closed formula for the number of Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ with associated…

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the Andre-Oort conjecture for Hilbert modular surfaces. More precisely, let K be a real quadratic field and let S be the coarse moduli space of complex abelian surfaces with…

If $V$ is a commutative algebraic group over a field $k$, $O$ is a commutative ring that acts on $V$, and $I$ is a finitely generated free $O$-module with a right action of the absolute Galois group of $k$, then there is a commutative…

Let $O_F$ be the ring of integers of a totally real field $F$ of degree $g$. We study the reduction of the moduli space of separably polarized abelian $O_F$-varieties of dimension $g$ modulo $p$ for a fixed prime $p$. The invariants and…

We introduce a notion of highly Kummer-faithful fields and study its relationship with the notion of Kummer-faithful fields. We also give some examples of highly Kummer-faithful fields. For example, if $k$ is a number field of finite degree…

We show that every henselian valued field $L$ of residue characteristic 0 admits a proper subfield $K$ which is dense in $L$. We present conditions under which this can be taken such that $L|K$ is transcendental and $K$ is henselian. These…

We verify a special case of a conjecture of G. Carlsson that describes the $\l$-adic $K$-theory of a field $F$ of characteristic prime to $\l$ in terms of the representation theory of the absolute Galois group $G_F$. This conjecture is…
