The $p$-adic logarithm appears in many places in number theory. Hence having a good description of the image of the $p$-adic logarithm could be useful, and in particular, to figure out the image of $1 + \mathfrak{m}_K$, where $K$ is an…

Given a hilbertian field $k$ of characteristic zero and a finite Galois extension $E/k(T)$ with group $G$ such that $E/k$ is regular, we produce some specializations of $E/k(T)$ at points $t_0 \in \mathbb{P}^1(k)$ which have the same Galois…

We propose topological Hochschild homology as a tool for measuring ramification of maps of structured ring spectra. We determine second order topological Hochschild homology of the $p$-local integers. For the tamely ramified extension of…

Let p be an odd prime, and k_\infty the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of an abelian field k. For a finite set S of rational primes which does not include p, we will consider the maximal S-ramified abelian pro-p extension M_S(k_\infty) over…

Let $K$ be a local field whose residue field has characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a finite separable totally ramified extension of degree $n=up^{\nu}$. Let $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n$ denote the $K$-embeddings of $L$ into a separable…

For a number field K and a finite abelian group G, we determine the probabilities of various local completions of a random G-extension of K when extensions are ordered by conductor. In particular, for a fixed prime p of K, we determine the…

Let $K$ be a field and let $A$ be a finitely generated prime $K$-algebra. We generalize a result of Smith and Zhang, showing that if $A$ is not PI and does not have a locally nilpotent ideal, then the extended centre of $A$ has…

We prove that the quotient of the Brauer group of a product of varieties over k by the sum of the images of the Brauer groups of factors has finite exponent. The bulk of the proof concerns p-primary torsion in characteristic p. Our approach…

Let K be a finite extension of Q_p and let L/K be a totally ramified (Z/pZ)^2-extension which has a single ramification break b. Byott and Elder defined a "refined ramification break" b_* for L/K. In this paper we prove that if p>2 and the…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…

In this paper, I correct errors in my paper (Kodai Math. J. (2015)) about gamma filtrations for classifying spaces for abelian p-groups which are not elementary. We also extend Chetard's results for such 2-groups to p-groups for odd prime.

Let K be a complete discretely valued field of mixed characteristic (0, p) with possibly imperfect residue field. We prove a Hasse-Arf theorem for the arithmetic ramification filtrations on G_K, except possibly in the absolutely unramified…

For a number field $K$, we consider $K^{\rm ta}$ the maximal tamely ramified algebraic extension of~$K$, and its Galois group $G^{\rm ta}_K= Gal(K^{ta}/K)$. Choose a prime $p$ such that $\mu_p \not \subset K$. Our guiding aim is to…

Let K be a local field whose residue field is a finite field of characteristic p, and let L/K be a finite totally ramified Galois extension. Fried and Heiermann defined the "indices of inseparability" of L/K, a refinement of the…

Let $\ell>2$ be a positive integer, $\zeta_\ell$ a primitive $\ell$-th root of unity, and $K$ a number field containing $\zeta_\ell+\zeta_\ell^{-1}$ but not $\zeta_\ell$. In a recent paper, Chonoles et. al. study iterated towers of number…

Let $K$ be a number field and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $K^\times$. For all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$, the reduction $(G \bmod \mathfrak p)$ generates a well-defined subgroup of the multiplicative group…

Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld $A$-module of finite residual characteristic $\bar{\mathfrak{p}}$ over a local field $K$. We study the action of the inertia group of $K$ on a modified adelic Tate module $\smash{T^\circ_{\text{ad}}}(\phi)$ which…

This article extends the study of cyclic ramified covers of the projective line defined by Kummer equations. We consider the most general case of such covers, allowing arbitrary orders in the roots of the generating radicant. The primary…

Let $K=\mathbb Q(\theta)$ be an algebraic number field with $\theta$ a root of an irreducible trinomial $f(x)=x^6+ax+b$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$. In this paper, for each prime number $p$ we compute the highest power of $p$ dividing the…
