We compute the Galois group of the maximal 2-ramified pro-2-extension of a 2-rational number field
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. We consider the Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariants associated to modular Bloch-Kato Selmer groups, considered over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $g$ be a $p$-ordinary cuspidal…
We prove a criterion for the mildness of a finitely presented pro-$p$ group $G$. It implies as a special case a cohomological mildness criterion via Massey products, generalizing results due to Schmidt and G\"artner. It subsumes Labute's…
We use Massey products and their relations to unipotent representations to parametrize and find an explicit formula for the number of Galois extensions of a given local field with the prescribed Galois group ${\mathbb U}_4({\mathbb F}_p)$…
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…
For a prime number $p$ and an integer $m\geq2$, we prove that the symbol length of all elements of $m$-fold Massey products in $H^2(G,\mathbb{F}_p)$, for pro-$p$ groups $G$ of elementary type, is bounded by $(m^2/4)+m$. Assuming the…
We give formulas for 3-fold Massey products in the \'etale cohomology of the ring of integers of a number field and use these to find the first known examples of imaginary quadratic fields with class group of $p$-rank two possessing an…
In this paper, we construct, for some $2$-groups $G$, explicit Galois extensions $E/\mathbb{Q}(T)$ of group $G$ with $E\cap\overline{\mathbb{Q}}=\mathbb{Q}$. We also provide explicit arithmetic progressions of integers $t_0$ such that the…
The finite sharply $2$-transitive groups were classified by Zassenhaus in the 1930's. They essentially all look like the group of affine linear transformations $x\mapsto ax+b$ for some field (or at least near-field) $K$. However, the…
We introduce a criterion on the presentation of finitely presented pro-$p$ groups which allows us to compute their cohomology groups and infer quotients of mild groups of cohomological dimension strictly larger than two, from (non-free)…
We prove new cases of the inverse Galois problem by considering the residual Galois representations arising from a fixed newform. Specific choices of weight $3$ newforms will show that there are Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois…
We prove that the modular symbols appropriately normalized and ordered have a Gaussian distribution for all cofinite subgroups of SL_2(R). We use spectral deformations to study the poles and the residues of Eisenstein series twisted by…
We prove two results. (1) There is an absolute constant $D$ such that for any finite quasisimple group $S$, given 2D arbitrary automorphisms of $S$, every element of $S$ is equal to a product of $D$ `twisted commutators' defined by the…
To each supersimple $2-(n,4,\lambda)$ design $\mathcal{D}$ one associates a `Conway groupoid,' which may be thought of as a natural generalisation of Conway's Mathieu groupoid associated to $M_{13}$ which is constructed from $\mathbb{P}_3$.…
Let $n \geq 2$ and $p$ be a prime. Let $K$ be a number field and consider two Galois representations $\rho_1, \rho_2 : \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K} / K) \to \operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ having residual image a $p$-group. We explain…
We show that graph products of non trivial finite dimensional von Neumann algebras are strongly 1-bounded when the underlying *-algebra has vanishing first L2-Betti number. The proof uses a combination of the following two key ideas to…
Let $G$ be a wreath product of the form $C_2 \wr H$, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order 2. Under mild conditions for $H$ we determine the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions for number fields $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ and…
Let $\varphi_p(z)=(z-1)^p+2-\zeta_p$, where $\zeta_p\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ is a primitive $p$-th root of unity for some odd prime $p$. Building on previous work, we show that the $n$-th iterate $\varphi_p^n(z)$ has Galois group $[C_p]^n$, an…
We fix a prime p and construct new cases of pro-p extensions of number fields with restricted ramification and splitting, whose Galois groups decompose as coproducts of pro-p absolute Galois groups of local fields. As a consequence, these…
Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a set of primes of $K$. We write $K_S/K$ for the maximal extension of $K$ unramified outside $S$ and $G_{K,S}$ for its Galois group. In this paper, we answer the following question under some assumptions:…
