We consider an infinite extension $K$ of a local field of zero characteristic which is a union of an increasing sequence of finite extensions. $K$ is equipped with an inductive limit topology; its conjugate $\bar{K}$ is a completion of $K$…
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…
We determine the structure of the obstruction group of the Hasse norm principle for a finite separable extension $K/k$ of a global field of degree $d$, where $d$ has a square-free prime factor $p$ and a $p$-Sylow subgroup of the Galois…
Let $L/K$ be any finite separable extension with normal closure $\widetilde{L}/K$. An extension $L'/K$ is said to be $\textit{parallel to $L/K$}$ if $L'$ is an intermediate field of $\widetilde{L}/K$ with $[L':K]=[L:K]$. We study the…
A finite extension of global fields $L/K$ satisfies the Hasse norm principle if any nonzero element of $K$ has the property that it is a norm locally if and only if it is a norm globally. In 1931, Hasse proved that any cyclic extension…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the Hasse norm principle for field extensions $K/k$ when the Galois groups ${\rm Gal}(L/k)$ of the Galois closure $L/k$ of $K/k$ are isomorphic to the Mathieu group $M_{11}$ of degree $11$ of…
We study function fields of curves over a base field $K$ which is either a global field or a large field having a separable field extension of degree divisible by $4$. We show that, for any such function field, Hilbert's 10th Problem has a…
We present computational results which strongly support a conjecture of Morgan and Mullen (1996), which states that for every extension $E/F$ of Galois fields there exists a primitive element of $E$ which is completely normal over $F$.
Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a discrete valuation $v$ of residue characteristic $p$. Let $f(z) \in K[z]$ be a separable polynomial of the form $z^\ell-c.$ Given $a \in K$, we examine the Galois groups and ramification groups…
Let $k$ be a field, $K/k$ finitely generated and $L/K$ a finite, separable extension. We show that the existence of a $k$-valuation on $L$ which ramifies in $L/K$ implies the existence of a normal model $X$ of $K$ and a prime divisor $D$ on…
Let $k$ be a number field and let ${\mathcal{A}}$ be a ${\rm GL}_2$-type variety defined over $k$ of dimension $d$. We show that for every prime number $p$ satisfying certain conditions (see Theorem 2), if the local-global divisibility…
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 $F$ be a field, let $V$ be a valuation ring of $F$ of arbitrary Krull dimension (rank), let $K$ be a finite Galois extension of $F$ with group $G$, and let $S$ be the integral closure of $V$ in $K$. Let $f:G\times G\mapsto K\setminus…
We classify all possible extensions of a valuation from a ground field $K$ to a rational function field in one or several variables over $K$. We determine which value groups and residue fields can appear, and we show how to construct…
Let L be a Galois extension of a countable Hilbertian field K. Although L need not be Hilbertian, we prove that an abundance of large Galois subextensions of L/K are.
Fix $K/\mathbf{Q}_p$ a finite extension and let $L/K$ be an infinite, strictly APF extension in the sense of Fontaine--Wintenberger. Let $X_K(L)$ denote its associated norm field. The goal of this paper is to associate to $L/K$, in a…
Let $G$ be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel $F$ and let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree $|F|$ algebraic extensions $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ with the norm of…
Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with group $\Gamma$. When $\Gamma$ is nilpotent, we show that the problem of enumerating all nilpotent Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ can be reduced to the corresponding problem for the…
For a prime number $\ell$ and an extension of number fields $K/F$, we prove new lower bounds on the $\ell$-rank of the ideal class group of $K$ based on prime ramification in $K/F$. Unlike related results from the literature, our bound is…
As shown in a previous paper, whenever a rational vector field on $\mathbb C^n$, $n>2$, is Liouvillian integrable, then it admits a first integral obtained by two successive integrations from a one-form with coefficients in a finite…
