This is a survey article, with essentially complete proofs, of a series of recent results concerning the geometry of the characteristic foliation on smooth divisors in compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds, starting with work by Hwang-Viehweg,…

A Galois scaffold, in a Galois extension of local fields with perfect residue fields, is an adaptation of the normal basis to the valuation of the extension field, and thus can be applied to answer questions of Galois module structure. Here…

Given a Galois cover of curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we relate the $p$-adic valuation of epsilon constants appearing in functional equations of Artin L-functions to an equivariant Euler characteristic. Our main theorem generalises a result…

This article is the second installment in a series on the Berkovich ramification locus for nonconstant rational functions f: P^1 -> P^1. Here we show the ramification locus of f is contained in a strong tubular neighborhood of finite radius…

For a characteristic $p > 0$ variety $X$ with controlled $F$-singularities, we state conditions which imply that a divisorial sheaf is Cohen-Macaulay or at least has depth $\geq 3$ at certain points. This mirrors results of Koll\'ar for…

Let $L/K$ be an extension of number fields that is ramified above $p$. We give a new obstruction to the descent to $K$ of smooth projective varieties defined over $L$. The obstruction is a matrix of $p$-adic numbers that we call ``ramified…

Let $K$ be a local field, $X$ the Drinfel'd symmetric space $X$ of dimension $d$ over $K$ and ${\mathfrak X}$ the natural formal ${\mathcal O}_K$-scheme underlying $X$; thus $G={\rm GL}\sb {d+1}(K)$ acts on $X$ and ${\mathfrak X}$. Given a…

Assuming a certain form of resolution of singularities, we prove a general existential Ax-Kochen/Ershov principle for tamely ramified fields in all characteristics. This specializes to well-known results in residue characteristic $0$ and…

Suppose $K$ is a finite field extension of $\mathbb{Q} _p$ containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity. Let $\Gamma _{<p}$ be the Galois group of a maximal $p$-extension of $K$ with the Galois group of period $p$ and nilpotent class $<p$.…

J.Bella\"iche and M.Dimitrov have shown that the $p$-adic eigencurve is smooth but not etale over the weight space at $p$-regular theta series attached to a character of a real quadratic field $F$ in which $p$ splits. We proof in this paper…

- Let p be a prime number and K an algebraic number field. What is the arithmetic structure of Galois extensions L/K having p-adic analytic Galois group $\Gamma$ = Gal(L/K)? The celebrated Tame Fontaine-Mazur conjecture predicts that such…

We give a simple characterization of the totally wild ramified valuations in a Galois extension of fields of characteristic p. This criterion involves the valuations of Artin-Schreier cosets of the F_{p^r}^\times-translation of a single…

We study torsors under finite group schemes over the punctured spectrum of a singularity $x\in X$ in positive characteristic. We show that the Dieudonn\'e module of the (loc,loc)-part $\mathrm{Picloc}^{\mathrm{loc},\mathrm{loc}}_{X/k}$ of…

Let $C$ be a smooth curve over a finite field in characteristic $p$ and let $M$ be an overconvergent $F$-isocrystal over $C$. After replacing $C$ with a dense open subset $M$ obtains a slope filtration, whose steps interpolate the Frobenius…

Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0,p) with algebraically closed residue field, and let f: Y --> P^1 be a three-point G-cover defined over K, where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup P. We examine the stable…

Using limit linear series and a result controlling degeneration from separable maps to inseparable maps, we give a formula for the number of self-maps of the projective line with ramification to order e_i at general points P_i, in the case…

Given a normal complete variety $Y$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb K$, distinct effective Weil divisors $D_1,... D_n$ of $Y$ and positive integers $d_1,... d_n$, we spell out the conditions for the existence of an abelian cover…

We prove the modularity of minimally ramified ordinary residually reducible p-adic Galois representations of an imaginary quadratic field F under certain assumptions. We first exhibit conditions under which the residual representation is…
