A systematic study of non-trivial cubic extensions of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e algebra is undertaken. Explicit examples are given with various techniques (Young tableau, characters etc).
We show that finite Galois extensions with cyclic Galois group are radical.
Let k be a field of characteristic 2 and let L/k be a finite Galois extension with Galois group G. We show the equivalence of the following two properties: (*) The group G is generated by elements of order 2 and by elements of odd order.…
The aim of this paper is to extend our old results about Galois action on the torsion points of abelian varieties to the case of (finitely generated) fields of characteristic 2.
We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…
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 paper describes in terms of Artin-Schreier equations field extensions whose Galois group is isomorphic to any of the four non-cyclic groups of order $p^3$ or the ten non-Abelian groups of order $p^4$, $p$ an odd prime, over a field of…
In a previous work, the second-named author gave a complete description of the action of automorphisms on the ordinary irreducible characters of the finite symplectic groups. We generalise this in two directions. Firstly, using work of the…
We investigate the relations in Galois groups of maximal p-extensions of fields, the structure of their natural filtrations, and their relationship with the Bloch-Kato conjecture proved by Rost and Voevodsky with Weibel's patch. Our main…
Recently, much work has been done to investigate Galois module structure of local field extensions, particularly through the use of Galois scaffolds. Given a totally ramified $p$-extension of local fields $L/K$, a Galois Scaffold gives us a…
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…
For a more general notion of Cartan connection we define characteristic classes, we investigate their relation to usual characteristic classes.
In this paper we introduce a method of characteristic sets with respect to several term orderings for difference-differential polynomials. Using this technique, we obtain a method of computation of multivariate dimension polynomials of…
We provide a characterization of the finite dimensionality of vector spaces in terms of the right-sided invertibility of linear operators on them.
In this note, we develop a theory of Euler-Poincare reduction for discrete Lagrangian field theories. We introduce the concept of Euler-Poincare equations for discrete field theories, as well as a natural extension of the Moser-Veselov…
Let F be an unramified extension of Qp. The first aim of this work is to develop a purely local method to compute the potentially Barsotti-Tate deformations rings with tame Galois type of irreducible two-dimensional representations of the…
Let L be a Galois extension of a countable Hilbertian field K. Although L need not be Hilbertian, we prove that an abundance of large Galois subextensions of L/K are.
This paper develops the theory of distinguished regular supercuspidal representations, and it highlights how the correspondence between regular characters and regular supercuspidal representations resembles induction in certain ways.
The notion of a coalgebra-Galois extension is defined as a natural generalisation of a Hopf-Galois extension. It is shown that any coalgebra-Galois extension induces a unique entwining map $\psi$ compatible with the right coaction. For the…
We observe that some basic but fundamental constructions in Galois theory can be used to obtain some interesting restrictions on the structure of Galois groups of maximal $p$-extensions of fields containing a primitive $p$th root of unity.…
