Let K/F be a cyclic extension of prime degree l over a number field F. If F has class number coprime to l, we study the structure of the l-Sylow subgroup of the class group of K. In particular, when F contains the l-th roots of unity, we…

We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring structures of algebraic K-theory. We then study…

A perfect field $K$ is said to be Kummer-faithful if the Mordell-Weil group of every semi-abelian variety over every finite extension of $K$ has no nonzero divisible element. The class of Kummer-faithful fields contains that of sub-$p$-adic…

We investigate the finitary functions from a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ to the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, where $p$ and $q$ are powers of different primes. An $(\mathbb{F}_p,\mathbb{F}_q)$-linearly closed clonoid is a subset of these…

We classify those finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$, for $q$ a power of some fixed prime number, whose members are the sum of an $n$-potent element with $n>1$ and a 4-potent element. It is shown that there are precisely ten non-trivial pairs…

Let $K$ be a number field and $\phi\in K(z)$ a rational function. Let $S$ be the set of all archimedean places of $K$ and all non-archimedean places associated to the prime ideals of bad reduction for $\phi$. We prove an upper bound for…

Let $K$ be a function field over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$ and let $K_{\infty}/K$ be a geometric extension with Galois group $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Let $K_n$ be the corresponding subextension with Galois group…

Given a K3 surface $X$ over a number field $K$ with potentially good reduction everywhere, we prove that the set of primes of $K$ where the geometric Picard rank jumps is infinite. As a corollary, we prove that either $X_{\overline{K}}$ has…

Proper classes of extensions of real field was defined and topological properties of these extensions were studied. These extensions can be connected, in this case such set is not closed under binary operations (addition and…

The paper is devoted to produce infinite sequences of $k$-normal polynomials $F_{u}(x)\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ of degrees $np^{u} ~ (u\geq 0)$, for a suitably chosen initial $k$-normal polynomial $F_{0}(x)\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ of degree $n$…

Let $p\equiv 1\,(\mathrm{mod}\,9)$ be a prime number and $\zeta_3$ be a primitive cube root of unity. Then $\mathrm{k}=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{p},\zeta_3)$ is a pure metacyclic field with group $\mathrm{Gal}(\mathrm{k}/\mathbb{Q})\simeq S_3$.…

The structure of the Galois group of the maximal unramified p-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is restricted in various ways. In this paper we construct a family of finite 3-groups satisfying these restrictions. We prove several…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and $\Gamma$ an infinite, first countable pro-$p$ group. We study the behavior of the $p$-primary part of the "motivic class group", i.e. the full $p$-divisible group of the Jacobian, in any…

Let $K$ be a number field and $p$ a prime number $\geq 5$. Let us denote by $\mu_p$ the group of the $p$th roots of unity. We define $p$ to be $K$-regular if $p$ does not divide the class number of the field $K(\mu_p)$. Under the assumption…

This paper studies Galois extensions over real quadratic number fields or cyclotomic number fields ramified only at one prime. In both cases, the ray class groups are computed, and they give restrictions on the finite groups that can occur…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic $p$. For a positive integer $m$ prime to $p$, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendency degree $1$ function field defined by…

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…

The Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuples conjecture has long been thought to be completely unapproachable with current methods. While this sadly remains true, startling breakthroughs of Zhang, Maynard, and Tao have nevertheless made…
