The \(v\)-function appears in the wild McKay correspondence and it is an invariant of a Galois extension over a local field which measures about the ramification of extension. The ramification filtration is also such invariant. Yasuda…

Let p be an odd prime, K a finite extension of Q_p, G=Gal(\bar K/K) the Galois group and e=e(K/Q_p) the ramification index. Suppose T is a p^n torsion representation such that T is isomorphic to a quotient of two G-stable Z_p-lattices in a…

We realize infinitely many covering groups $2.A_n$ (where $A_n$ is the alternating group) as the Galois group of everywhere unramified Galois extensions over infinitely many quadratic number fields. After several predecessor works…

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…

Ramification invariants are necessary, but not in general sufficient, to determine the Galois module structure of ideals in local number field extensions. This insufficiency is associated with elementary abelian extensions, where one can…

In the local, unramified case the determinantal functions associated to the group-ring of a finite group satisfy Galois descent. This note examines the obstructions to Galois determinantal descent in the ramified case.

We work over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. This paper investigates linear representations of Galois groups arising from wild Galois points on projective hypersurfaces. We prove that these Galois groups lift to…

A major open problem in current Galois theory is to characterize those profinite groups which appear as absolute Galois groups of various fields. Obtaining detailed knowledge of the structure of quotients and subgroup filtrations of Galois…

This article gives a first look at wild ramification in a family of iterated extensions. For integer values of c, we consider the splitting field of $(x^2 + c)^2 + c$, the second iterate of $x^2 + c$. We give complete information on the…

As an analogue of a link group, we consider the Galois group of the maximal pro-$p$-extension of a number field with restricted ramification which is cyclotomically ramified at $p$, i.e, tamely ramified over the intermediate cyclotomic…

This paper verifies Abhyankar's Inertia Conjecture for certain sporadic groups $G$ in particular characteristics by showing that all possible inertia groups occur for $G$-Galois covers of the affine line. For a larger set of sporadic…

Let $p>5$ be a prime integer and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite ramified extension with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and uniformizer $\pi$. Let $n>1$ be a positive integer and $\rho_n:G_\mathbb{Q} \to \text{GL}_2(\mathcal{O}/\pi^n)$ be a…

We give an intrinsic parametrisation of the set of tamely ramified extensions of a local field with finite residue field and bring to the fore the role played by group cohomology. We show that two natural definitions of the cohomology class…

We interpret Galois covers in terms of particular monoidal functors, extending the correspondence between torsors and fiber functors. As applications we characterize tame $G$-covers between normal varieties for finite and \'etale group…

In this paper we give a unified approach in categorical setting to the problem of finding the Galois closure of a finite cover, which includes as special cases the familiar finite separable field extensions, finite unramified covers of a…

Using limit linear series and a result controlling degeneration from separable maps to inseparable maps, we give a formula for the number of self-maps of the projective line with ramification to order e_i at general points P_i, in the case…

We consider the general problem of enumerating branched covers of the projective line from a fixed general curve subject to ramification conditions at possibly moving points. Our main computations are in genus 1; the theory of limit linear…

We present a family of algorithms for computing the Galois group of a polynomial defined over a $p$-adic field. Apart from the "naive" algorithm, these are the first general algorithms for this task. As an application, we compute the Galois…

We determine all the $p$-adic analytic groups that are realizable as Galois groups of the maximal pro-$p$ extensions of number fields with prescribed ramification and splitting under an assumption which allows us to move away from the Tame…

This paper gives some restrictions on finite groups that can occur as Galois groups of extensions over $\Q$ and over $\F_q(t)$ ramified only at one finite prime. Over $\Q$, we strengthen results of Jensen and Yui about dihedral extensions…
