Let $p$ be a prime number and let $k$ be a number field. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that if $p$ is odd, then the local-global divisibility by any power of $p$ holds for the torsion points of $E$. We also show…
For any prime $p$ and $\varepsilon>0$ we prove that for any sufficiently large positive odd integer $s$ at least $(c_p-\varepsilon) \sqrt{\frac{s}{\log s}}$ of the $p$-adic zeta values $\zeta_p(3),\zeta_p(5),\dots,\zeta_p(s)$ are…
Sums over inverse s-th powers of semiprimes and k-almost primes are transformed into sums over products of powers of ordinary prime zeta functions. Multinomial coefficients known from the cycle decomposition of permutation groups play the…
For an abelian number field K containing a primitive p-th root of unity (p an odd prime) and satisfying certain technical conditions, we parametrize the Z_p[G(K/Q)]-annihilators of the "minus" part A_K^- of the p-class group by means of…
Kummer's conjecture states that the relative class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field follows a strict asymptotic law. Granville has shown it unlikely to be true -- it cannot be true if we assume the truth of two other widely believed…
Let F/F_q be an algebraic function field of genus g defined over a finite field F_q. We obtain new results on the existence, the number and the density of dimension zero divisors of degree g-k in F where k is a positive integer. In…
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a real cyclic extension of degree divisible by $p$. We analyze the {\it statement} of the "Real Abelian Main Conjecture", for the $p$-class group $\mathcal{H}_K$ of $K$, in this non semi-simple case. The classical {\it…
In this article, we introduce a systematic new method to investigate the conjectural p-adic meromorphic continuation of Professor Bernard Dwork's unit root zeta function attached to an ordinary family of algebraic varieties defined over a…
For odd primes $p$, we let $K_p:=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$ be the $p$th cyclotomic field and let $\omega$ denote its Teichmuller character. For $\alpha>1/2$, we say that an odd prime $p$ is partially regular if the eigenspaces of the $p$-Sylow…
Let K be a number field, and let a be a non-zero element of K. Fix some prime number l. We compute the density of the following set: the primes p of K such that the multiplicative order of the reduction of a modulo p is coprime to l (or,…
For an odd prime $p$ and polynomial $P(T)$, we consider the extension $F$ of $k={\mathbb F}_p(T)$ defined by adjoining a root of $x^p+Tx-P(T)$. Such a field is a function field analogue of the number field ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt[p]{n})$. We…
In this paper we deduce a lower bound for the rank of a family of $p$ vectors in $\R^k$ (considered as a vector space over the rationals) from the existence of a sequence of linear forms on $\R^p$, with integer coefficients, which are small…
This article deals with a conjecture, introduced in [GQ] (hereinafter $SFLT2$), which generalizes the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem: {\it Let $p>3$ be a prime. The diophantine equation $\frac{u^p+v^p}{u+v}=w_1^p$ with $u,v,u+v,…
Let p be a prime and suppose that K/F is a cyclic extension of degree p^n with group G. Let J be the F_pG-module K^*/K^{*p} of pth-power classes. In our previous paper we established precise conditions for J to contain an indecomposable…
We use a known example of an algebraically maximal discretely valued field of positive characteristic $p$ which admits purely inseparable extensions of degree $p^2$ with defect $p$ to construct algebraically maximal valued fields of…
We give an explicit algebraic description, based on prismatic cohomology, of the algebraic K-groups of rings of the form $O_K/I$ where $K$ is a p-adic field and $I$ is a non-trivial ideal in the ring of integers $O_K$; this class includes…
We present a remarkably simple and surprisingly natural interpretation of the values of zeta functions at negative integers and zero. Namely we are able to relate these values to areas related to partial sums of powers. We apply these…
Given a separable nonconstant polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients, we consider the set $S$ consisting of the squarefree parts of all the rational values of $f(x)$, and study its behavior modulo primes. Fixing a prime $p$, we…
If K_0 is the fraction field of the Witt vectors over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, we calculate upper bounds on the conductor of higher ramification for (the Galois closure of) extensions K_0(zeta_{p^r},…
Lehner's 1949 results on the $j$-invariant showed high divisibility of the function's coefficients by the primes $p\in\{2,3,5,7\}$. Expanding his results, we examine a canonical basis for the space of level $p$ modular functions holomorphic…
