The tame Gras-Munnier Theorem gives a criterion for the existence of a ${\mathbb Z}/{\mathbb Z}$-extension of a number field $K$ ramified at exactly a set $S$ of places of $K$ prime to $p$ (allowing real Archimedean places when $p=2$) in…
Let $K$ be a local field and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified Galois extension of degree $p^n$. Being semistable and possessing a Galois scaffold are two conditions which facilitate the computation of the additive Galois module structure of…
Let $L/K$ be a finite, totally ramified $p$-extension of complete local fields with residue fields of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra acting on $L$. We define the concept of an $A$-scaffold on $L$, thereby extending and…
Given a natural number n and a number field K, we show the existence of an integer \ell_0 such that for any prime number \ell\geq \ell_0, there exists a finite extension F/K, unramified in all places above \ell, together with a principally…
Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic $p$ with residue $k$ which is not necessarily perfect. We prove the Conjecture in \cite{cs} that a $p$-algebra over $K$ contains a totally ramified cyclic maximal subfield if it…
Given a field $K$, a rational function $\phi \in K(x)$, and a point $b \in \mathbb{P}^1(K)$, we study the extension $K(\phi^{-\infty}(b))$ generated by the union over $n$ of all solutions to $\phi^n(x) = b$, where $\phi^n$ is the $n$th…
A finite \'etale map between irreducible, normal varieties is called tame, if it is tamely ramified with respect to all partial compactifications whose boundary is the support of a strict normal crossings divisor. We prove that if the…
Let $k$ be a rational congruence function field and consider an arbitrary finite separable extension $K/k$. If for each prime in $k$ ramified in $K$ we have that at least one ramification index is not divided by the characteristic of $K$,…
We extend the theory of Kisin modules and crystalline representations to allow more general coefficient fields and lifts of Frobenius. In particular, for a finite and totally ramified extension $F/\mathbb Q_p$, and an arbitrary finite…
Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group and $K$ a number field with torsion relatively prime to the order of $G$. By a sequence of central group extensions with cyclic kernel we obtain an upper bound for the minimum number of prime ideals of…
For important cases of algebraic extensions of valued fields, we develop presentations of the associated K\"ahler differentials of the extensions of their valuation rings. We compute their annihilators as well as the associated Dedekind…
Abhyankar showed that for a finite tame extension $L_1/K$ and a finite extension $L_2/K$ of $\mathfrak{P}$-adic fields, the condition $[\nu L_1 : \nu K]$ divides $[\nu L_2 : \nu K]$ is sufficient to eliminate ramification, that is, $L_1…
Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic 0 with residue characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be an extraspecial $p$-group and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified $G$-extension. In this paper we find sufficient conditions for $L/K$ to admit a Galois…
Let $K$ be a local field whose residue field has characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a finite separable totally ramified extension of degree $n=up^{\nu}$. Let $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n$ denote the $K$-embeddings of $L$ into a separable…

For a simple, normal and finite extension of a valued field, we prove that we can related the order of the ramification group of the field extension and the set of key polynomials associated to the extension of the valuation. More…
We study the ramification of fierce cyclic Galois extensions of a local field $K$ of characteristic zero with a one-dimensional residue field of characteristic $p>0$. Using Kato's theory of the refined Swan conductor, we associate to such…
A perfect field $K$ is said to be Kummer-faithful if the Mordell-Weil group of every semi-abelian variety over every finite extension of $K$ has no nonzero divisible element. The class of Kummer-faithful fields contains that of sub-$p$-adic…
An algebraic extension K of the rationals has the Bogomolov property if the absolute logarithmic height of non-torsion points of K* is bounded away from 0. We define a relative extension L/K to be Bogomolov if this holds for points of L\K.…
Let K/k be purely inseparable extension of characteristic p \textgreater{} 0. By invariants, we characterize the measure of the size of K/k. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition that K/k is of bounded size.…
