Fixed an algebraic scheme $Y$. We suggest a definition for the conjugate of an algebraic scheme $X$ over $Y$ in an evident manner; then $X$ is said to be Galois closed over $Y$ if $X$ has a unique conjugate over $Y$. Now let $X$ and $Y$…

Graded-division algebras are building blocks in the theory of finite-dimensional associative algebras graded by a group G. If G is abelian, they can be described, using a loop construction, in terms of central simple graded-division…

In this paper we prove that for each integer of the form $n=4\varpi$ (where $\varpi$ is a prime between $17$ and $73$) at least one of the following groups: $P\Omega^+_n(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$, $PSO^+_n(\mathbb{F}_{\ell^s})$,…

This paper deals with criteria of algebraic independence for the derivatives of solutions of rank one difference equations. The key idea consists in deriving from the commutativity of the differentiation and difference operators a sequence…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with kernel $F$ and complement $H$ such that the fixed-point subgroup of $F$ is trivial: $C_G(F)=1$. In this situation various properties of $G$ are shown to be…

Given a number field $k$, we show that, for many finite groups $G$, all the Galois extensions of $k$ with Galois group $G$ cannot be obtained by specializing any given finitely many Galois extensions $E/k(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/k$…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…

Given a number field $F$, a finite group $G$ and an indeterminate $T$, {\it{a $G$-parametric extension over $F$}} is a finite Galois extension $E/F(T)$ with Galois group $G$ and $E/F$ regular that has all the Galois extensions of $F$ with…

We study the variation of the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism associated to a cyclic trigonal curve of genus g over a field of q elements as the curve varies in an irreducible component of the moduli space. We show that for q fixed and…

We introduce the parameterized generic Galois group of a q-difference module, that is a differential group in the sense of Kolchin. It is associated to the smallest differential tannakian category generated by the q-difference module,…

In this note we relate the property of a semisimple l-adic Galois representation being "F-split" for a number field F to its having abelian image. By F-split we mean that the characteristic polynomials of Frobenii all split in F.

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth, irreducible curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. Let $f\in K[x]$ be of the form $f(x)=x^q+c$ where $q = p^{r}, r \ge 1,$ is a power of the prime number $p$, and let $\beta\in \overline{K}$.…

The purpose of this paper is to constructively develop a Galois theory on irreducible shifts of finite type (SFTs) and to analyze the automorphism groups of SFTs using this framework. Let $X$ and $Y$ be irreducible SFTs. We demonstrate that…

This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…

Given a field $K$, a polynomial $f \in K[x]$, and a suitable element $t \in K$, the set of preimages of $t$ under the iterates $f^{\circ n}$ carries a natural structure of a $d$-ary tree. We study conditions under which the absolute Galois…

Assume that $X$ and $Y$ are arithmetic schemes, i.e., integral schemes of finite types over $Spec(\mathbb{Z})$. Then $X$ is said to be quasi-galois closed over $Y$ if $X$ has a unique conjugate over $Y$ in some certain algebraically closed…

A Lie version of Turaev's $\overline{G}$-Frobenius algebras from 2-dimensional homotopy quantum field theory is proposed. The foundation for this Lie version is a structure we call a \textit{$\frak{g}$-quasi-Frobenius Lie algebra} for…

This paper develops a framework of algebra whereby every Diophantine equation is made quickly accessible by a study of the corresponding row entries in an array of numbers which we call the Newtonian triangles. We then apply this framework…
