A field F is said to have the Bogomolov Property related to a height function h, if h(a) is either zero or bounded from below by a positive constant for all a in F. In this paper we prove that the maximal algebraic extension of a number…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ and let $v$ be a finite place of $K$. Write $K^{tv}$ the maximal extension of $K$ in which $v$ is totally split and $L$ the field generated over $K^{tv}$ by all torsion points of…

An algebraic extension of the rational numbers is said to have the $\textit{Bogomolov property}$ (B) if the absolute logarithmic Weil height of its non-torsion elements is uniformly bounded from below. Given a continuous representation…

In 2013 P. Habegger proved the Bogomolov property for the field generated over Q by the torsion points of a rational elliptic curve. We explore the possibility of applying the same strategy of proof to the case of field extensions fixed by…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\hat{h}$ be the N\'eron-Tate height on $A(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ corresponding to a symmetric ample line bundle on $A$. In this article, we prove that the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$ with at least one real embedding and $L$ be a finite extension of $K$. We generalize a result of Habegger to show that $L(E_{\text{tor}})$, the field generated by the torsion points of…

We prove new results concerning the additive Galois module structure of certain wildly ramified finite non-abelian extensions of Q. In particular, when K/Q is a Galois extension with Galois group G isomorphic to A4, S4 or A5, we give…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…

Let E be an elliptic curve over the rationals. Let L be an infinite Galois extension of the rationals with uniformly bounded local degrees at almost all primes. We will consider the infinite extension L(E_tor) of the rationals where we…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal$(L/K)$ is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of $L/K$ must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let $G$…

For every prime $p\geq 5$ for which a certain condition on the class group $\text{Cl}(\mathbb{Q}(\mu_p))$ is satisfied, we construct a $p$-adic analytic Galois extension of the infinite cyclotomic extension $\mathbb{Q}(\mu_{p^{\infty}})$…

Let K and F be complete discrete valuation fields of residue characteristic p>0. Let m be a positive integer no more than their absolute ramification indices. Let s and t be their uniformizers. Let L/K and E/F be finite extensions such that…

Let $K$ be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0. If $K$ is a number field, assume the $abc$-conjecture for $K$. We prove a variant of Zsigmondy's theorem for ramified primes in preimage fields of rational functions in…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field. An extension $L/K$ is "weakly totally ramified" if the residue extension is purely inseparable. We sharpen a result of Ax by showing that any Galois-invariant disk in the algebraic closure of…

In parallel to the classical theory of central extensions of groups, we develop a version for extensions that preserve commutativity. It is shown that the Bogomolov multiplier is a universal object parametrising such extensions of a given…

We prove that if $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is a Galois extension of finite exponent and $K^{(d)}$ is the compositum of all extensions of $K$ of degree at most $d$, then $K^{(d)}$ has the Bogomolov property and the maximal abelian subextension of…

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…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of asymptotically positive infinite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$, in the spirit of the Tsfasman-Vl\u{a}du\c{t} theory of asymptotically exact families of number fields. For asymptotically positive…

We construct infinite Galois extensions $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ that satisfy the Northcott property on elements of small height, and where this property can be deduced solely from the splitting behavior of prime numbers in $K$. We also give…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The Bogomolov multiplier $B_0(G)$ is constructed as an obstruction to the rationality of $\bm{C}(V)^G$ where $G\to GL(V)$ is a faithful representation over $\bm{C}$. We prove that, for any finite groups $G_1$ and…
