Several questions about the Galois group of field generated by certain one dimensional formal group laws are studied. This is continuation of author's prior article titled 'Field Generated by Division Points of Certain Formal Group Laws -…

We introduce the multigraded Hilbert scheme, which parametrizes all homogeneous ideals with fixed Hilbert function in a polynomial ring that is graded by any abelian group. Our construction is widely applicable, it provides explicit…

We determine the asymptotic growth of extensions of local function fields of characteristic p counted by discriminant, where the Galois group is a subgroup of the affine group AGL_1(p). More general, we solve the corresponding counting…

Let $Y$ be an abelian variety over a subfield $k \subset \mathbb{C}$ that is of finite type over $\mathbb{Q}$. We prove that if the Mumford-Tate conjecture for $Y$ is true, then also some refined integral and adelic conjectures due to Serre…

We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…

We present our recent understanding on resolutions of Gorenstein orbifolds, which involves the finite group representation theory. We shall concern only the quotient singularity of hypersurface type. The abelian group $A_r(n)$ for $A$-type…

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…

Let k be a field, and let {\pi}:\tilde{X} -> X be a proper birational morphism of irreducible k-varieties, where \tilde{X} is smooth and X has at worst quotient singularities. When the characteristic of k is zero, a theorem of Koll\'ar in…

We introduce a notion of inertial equivalence for integral $\ell$-adic representation of the Galois group of a global field. We show that the collection of continuous, semisimple, pure $\ell$-adic representations of the absolute Galois…

We study the arithmetic of abelian varieties over $K=k(t)$ where $k$ is an arbitrary field. The main result relates Mordell-Weil groups of certain Jacobians over $K$ to homomorphisms of other Jacobians over $k$. Our methods also yield…

We prove that the $p^\infty$-torsion of the transcendental Brauer group of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ is bounded. This answers a (variant of a) question asked by Skorobogatov and Zarhin for…

The p-class tower $F_p^\infty(k)$ of a number field k is its maximal unramified pro-p extension. It is considered to be known when the p-tower group, that is the Galois group $G:=Gal(F_p^\infty(k)/k)$, can be identified by an explicit…

We prove several new results of Ax-Lindemann type for semiabelian varieties over the algebraic closure K of C(t), making heavy use of the Galois theory of logarithmic differential equations. Using related techniques, we also give a…

We study the question of the surjectivity of the Galois correspondence from subHopf algebras to subfields given by the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory for abelian Hopf Galois structures on a Galois extension of fields with Galois group…

This article is on the inverse Galois problem in Galois theory of linear iterative differential equations in positive characteristic. We show that it has an affirmative answer for reduced algebraic group schemes over any iterative…

Elliptic curves are fundamental objects in number theory and algebraic geometry, whose points over a field form an abelian group under a geometric addition law. Any elliptic curve over a field admits a Weierstrass model, but prior formal…

There are several recent works where authors have shown that number fields $K$ with `sufficiently many' units and cyclic class group contain a Euclidean ideal class provided the Hilbert class field $H(K)$ is absolutely abelian. In this…

A structure theorem is proved for strongly holonomic modules over a quantum torus (a crossed product of a field with a free abelian group in which the field is central). This can be applied to give a structure theorem for finitely presented…

We are considering iterative derivations on the function field L of abelian schemes in positive characteristic p>0, and give conditions when the torsion group schemes of this abelian scheme occur as ID-automorphism groups, i.e. are the…

In this paper, we consider Abelian varieties over function fields that arise as twists of Abelian varieties by cyclic covers of irreducible quasi-projective varieties. Then, in terms of Prym varieties associated to the cyclic covers, we…
