In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of the following too extreme cases of the Leopoldt conjecture: the case when $\K/\Q$ is a solvable extension and the case when it is a totally real extension in which $p$ splits completely.…

Let $L/K$ be a finite, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with residue fields of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra acting on $L$. We define the concept of an $A$-scaffold on $L$, thereby extending and…

Given a separably closed field K of positive characteristic and finite degree of imperfection we study the # functor which takes a semiabelian variety G over K to the maximal divisible subgroup #G of G(K). We show that the # functor need…

In this article we give an analogue of Hecke and Sturm bounds for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields. Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and $\Om_K$ its ring of integers. Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL_2(\Om_K)$…

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…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with perfect residue fields of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we give conditions, valid for any Galois $p$-group $G={Gal}(L/K)$ (abelian or not) and…

Assuming Lang's conjecture, we prove that for a fixed prime $p$, number field $K$, and positive integer $g$, there is an integer $r$ such that no principally polarized abelian variety $A/K$ of dimension $g$ has full level $p^r$ structure.…

We provide the Krull-Remak-Schmidt decomposition of group algebras of the form $k[G]$ where $k$ is a field, which includes fields with prime characteristic, and $G$ a finite abelian group. We achieved this by studying the geometric…

Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field with residual characteristic p, let G be an inner form of GL(n,F) for a positive integer n and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. When R has…

A finite group G is K-admissible if there exists a G-crossed product K-division algebra. In this manuscript we study the behavior of admissibility under extensions of number fields M/K. We show that in many cases, including Sylow metacyclic…

A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties are birationally isomorphic if and only if the underlying algebras are the same degree and generate the same cyclic subgroup of the Brauer group. It is known that generating…
