Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, ${\mathbf Q}_\ell$ is the field of $\ell$-adic numbers, ${\mathbf F}_\ell$ is the finite field of $\ell$ elements, and $d$ is a positive integer. Suppose $G$ is a finite subgroup of a symplectic group…

While the twin prime conjecture is still famously open, it holds true in the setting of finite fields: There are infinitely many pairs of monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ that differ by a fixed constant, for each $q \geq…

For a positive integer $g$, let $\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}(R)$ denote the group of $2g \times 2g$ symplectic matrices over a ring $R$. Assume $g \ge 2$. For a prime number $\ell$, we give a self-contained proof that any closed subgroup of…

We consider cubic number fields ordered by their discriminants, and show that there exist arbitrarily long sequences that contain only fields with class numbers greater than a given bound.

For any number field, we prove that there exists an elliptic curve defined over this field such that its Shafarevich-Tate group has a nontrivial 2-torsion subgroup.

In this paper, we prove the cohomological Lichtenbaum conjecture of abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields up to a finite set of bad primes.

We study a modular function $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ which is one of generalized $\lambda$ functions. We show $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ and the modular invariant function $j$ generate the modular function field with respect to the modular subgroup…

We prove that Zilber's class of exponential fields is quasiminimal excellent and hence uncountably categorical, filling two gaps in Zilber's original proof.

Let p be a prime number which is split in an imaginary quadratic field k. Let \mathfrak{p} be a place of k above p. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and let K_\intfy be a finite…

Let $(\alpha,\mathcal{N}_{\alpha})$ and $(\beta,\mathcal{N}_{\beta})$ be two canonical number systems for an imaginary quadratic number field $K$ such that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are multiplicatively independent. We provide an effective lower…

Assume that the section conjecture holds over number fields. We prove then that it holds for a broad class of curves defined over finitely generated extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$. This class contains every projective, hyperelliptic curve,…

We determine precisely when the length of the narrow 2-class field tower is $2$ for most of those real quadratic number fields whose discriminant is not a sum of two squares and for which their 2-class groups are elementary of order $4$.

We prove that when totally real (resp., complex) monogenized cubic number fields are ordered by height, the second moment of the size of the $2$-class group is at most $3$ (resp., at most $6$). In the totally real case, we further prove…

In previous work, the authors confirmed the speculation of J. G. Thompson that certain multiquadratic fields are generated by specified character values of sufficiently large alternating groups $A_n$. Here we address the natural…

In this article we study the endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties $A$ defined over a given number field $K$ with large cyclic 2-torsion fields. A key step in doing so is to provide criteria for all the endomorphisms of $A$ to be…

We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field $K$ having a prescribed torsion group $T$ as a subgroup. Let $T=\Z/m\Z \oplus \Z/n\Z$, where $m|n$, be a torsion group such that the modular curve…

Let G be a 2-group of order 2^n, n>5, and nilpotency class n-2. The invariants of such groups determined by their group algebras over the field of two elements are given in the paper.

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $\mathcal{O}$ be an order in $K$. We construct class fields associated with form class groups which are isomorphic to certain $\mathcal{O}$-ideal class groups in terms of the theory of canonical…

For a quadratic field K, we investigate continuous mod p representations of the absolute Galois groups of K that are unramified away from p and infinity. We prove that for certain pairs (K,p), there are no such irreducible representations.…

Let $k$ be a perfect field such that for every $n$ there are only finitely many field extensions, up to isomorphism, of $k$ of degree $n$. If $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $k$, whose characteristic is very good for $G$,…
