The K-theory of a functor may be viewed as a relative version of the K-theory of a ring. In the case of a Galois extension of a number field F/L with rings of integers A/B respectively, this K-theory of the "norm functor" is an extension of…

We define the algebraic fundamental group functor of a reductive group scheme over an arbitrary (non-empty) base scheme and prove that this functor is exact.

We prove that the Rubik's cube group can be realized as a Galois group over the rationals.

We give an introduction to the concept of Kan extensions, and study its relation with the notions of coend and adjoint functors. We state and prove in detail a well known formula to compute Kan extensions by using coends: a certain colimit…

A Galois theory of differential fields with parameters is developed in a manner that generalizes Kolchin's theory. It is shown that all connected differential algebraic groups are Galois groups of some appropriate differential field…

A connection between the Galois-theoretic approach to semi-abelian homology and the homological closure operators is established. In particular, a generalised Hopf formula for homology is obtained, allowing the choice of a new kind of…

We describe a universal factorization for a functor with values in finite-dimensional measured algebras. More precisely we contruct the quantum automorphism group of this functor. This general recontruction result allows us to recapture a…

In the present paper, we give a q-analogue of the Grothendieck conjecture on p-curvatures for q-difference equations defined over the field of rational function K(x), where K is a finite extension of a field of rational functions k(q), with…

The authors have used generalised Galois Theory to construct a homotopy double groupoid of a surjective fibration of Kan simplicial sets. Here we apply this to construct a new homotopy double groupoid of a map of spaces, which includes…

The Carath\'eodory extension theorem is a fundamental result in measure theory. Often we do not know what a general measurable subset looks like. The Carath\'eodory extension theorem states that to define a measure we only need to assign…

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…

This should be the final version of this paper. Numberous minor improvements have been made to the manuscript, one argument has been corrected, and an appendix has been added.

We introduce and study a class of field extensions that we call pre-Galois; viz. extensions that become Galois after some linearly disjoint Galois base change. Among them are geometrically Galois extensions of k(T), with k a field:…

For a rational prime $p\neq 2$, we compute the sequence of ramification groups of a Galois, radical and finite extension $L/F$ where $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is an unramified finite extension. First, we compute it in the case where the exponent of…

It is shown that every quantum principal bundle with a compact structure group is a Hopf-Galois extension. This property naturally extends to the level of general differential structures, so that every differential calculus over a quantum…

We study the relationship between the local and global Galois theory of function fields over a complete discretely valued field. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local separable extensions to descend to global extensions, and…

We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In this paper, we first introduce a new notion, so-called the Mackey double category of $G$. Then we prove that the category of Mackey double categories and the category of Mackey functors of $G$ are equivalent.

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We construct a new inflation functor for cohomological Mackey functors for finite groups over $k$. Using this inflation functor, we give an explicit presentation of the graded algebra of self…

We show that a semi-commutative Galois extension of a unital associative algebra can be endowed with the structure of a graded q-differential algebra. We study the first and higher order noncommutative differential calculus of…
