Let $F$ be a totally real field and $K$ a finite abelian CM extension of $F$. Using class field theory, we show that our previous result giving a strong form of the Brumer-Stark conjecture implies the minus part of the equivariant Tamagawa…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve and $p$ an odd prime. In 1991 Kolyvagin conjectured that the system of cohomology classes for torsion quotients of the $p$-adic Tate module of $E$ derived from Heegner points over ring class fields of…

Let $p>3$ be a prime number and $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field where $p$ splits. Let $K_\infty$ be the $\mathbf{Z}_p^2$-extension of $K$ and let $K_n$ be a finite subextension of $K_\infty/K$. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with good…

We prove a general criterion for an irrational power series $f(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ with coefficients in a number field $K$ to admit the unit circle as a natural boundary. As an application, let $F$ be a finite field,…

For a number field $K$ let $\mathcal{S}_K$ be the maximal subgroup of the multiplicative group $K^\times$ that embeds into the unit circle under each embedding of $K$ into the complex numbers. The group $\mathcal{S}_K$ can be seen as an…

Let K be a number field, let f(x) in K(x) be a rational function of degree d> 1, and let z in K be a wandering point such that f^n(z) is nonzero for all n > 0. We prove that if the abc-conjecture holds for K, then for all but finitely many…

Let F be a global function field of characteristic p>0, K/F an l-adic Lie extension unramified outside a finite set of places S and A/F an abelian variety without complex multiplication. We study Sel_A(K)_l^\vee (the Pontrjagin dual of the…

Using the recent proof of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture over $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ by Gowers, Green, Manners, and Tao, we prove a version of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture over function fields. In particular, we prove that if…

We prove a $p$-converse to the theorem of Gross-Zagier and Kolyvagin for elliptic curves $E/\mathbf{Q}$ at primes $p>3$ of multiplicative reduction. Two key ingredients in the argument are an extension to this setting of a $p$-adic formula…

Let $p$ be a prime integer, $k$ be a $p$-closed field of characteristic $\neq p$, $T$ be a torus defined over $k$, $F$ be a finite $p$-group, and $1\to T \to G \to F \to 1$ be an exact sequence of algebraic groups. Extending earlier work of…

Let K be an abelian extension of a totally real number field k, K^+ its maximal real subfield and G=Gal(K/k). We have previously used twisted zeta-functions to define a meromorphic CG-valued function Phi_{K/k}(s) in a way similar to the use…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ be the poset of nontrivial elementary abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$. Quillen conjectured that $O_p(G)$ is nontrivial if $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ is contractible. We prove that $O_p(G)\neq 1$ for any…

We show finiteness results on torsion points of commutative algebraic groups over a $p$-adic field $K$ with values in various algebraic extensions $L/K$ of infinite degree. We mainly study the following cases: (1) $L$ is an abelian…

Zero-sum problems for abelian groups and covers of the integers by residue classes, are two different active topics initiated by P. Erdos more than 40 years ago and investigated by many researchers separately since then. In an earlier…

Let $A/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve having split multiplicative reduction at an odd prime $p$. Under some mild technical assumptions, we prove the statement: $$rank_{\mathbb{Z}}A(\mathbb{Q})=1 \ \ and\ \ \…

A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'{e}l\`{e}ne predicts that for a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ the kernel of the Albanese map $\text{CH}_0(X)^{\text{deg}=0}\to Alb_X(k)$ is the direct sum of a…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field where $p$ is inert. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $K$ and suppose that $E$ has good supersingular reduction at $p$. In this paper, we prove that the plus/minus Selmer group of $E$ over the…

Following the natural instinct that when a group operates on a number field then every term in the class number formula should factorize `compatibly' according to the representation theory (both complex and modular) of the group, we are led…

Let L/K be an extension of absolutely abelian number fields of equal conductor, n. The image of the ring of integers of L under the trace map from L to K is an ideal in the ring of integers in K. We compute the absolute norm of this ideal…

Assume that $p>2$, and let $\mathscr{O}_K$ be a $p$-adic discrete valuation ring with residue field admitting a finite $p$-basis, and let $R$ be a formally smooth formally finite-type $\mathscr{O}_K$-algebra. (Indeed, we allow slightly more…
