These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
For a formation $\mathfrak{F}$ of finite groups, tight connections are established between the pro-$\mathfrak{F}$-topology of a finitely generated free group $F$ and the geometry of the Cayley graph $\Gamma(\hat{F_{\mathfrak{F}}})$ of the…
This work is motivated by the search for an "explicit" proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture in Galois cohomology, proved by Voevodsky. Our concern here is to lay the foundation for a theory that, we believe, will lead to such a proof- and to…
Let $K$ be a field whose characteristic is prime to a fixed integer $n$ with $\mu_n \subset K$, and choose $\omega \in \mu_n$ a primitive $n$th root of unity. Denote the absolute Galois group of $K$ by $\operatorname{Gal}(K)$, and the…
We investigate the nature of divergences in quantum field theory, showing that they are organized in the structure of a certain `` motivic Galois group'', which is uniquely determined and universal with respect to the set of physical…
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:…
Some sorts of generalized morphisms are defined from very basic mathematical objects such as sets, functions, and partial functions. A wide range of mathematical notions such as continuous functions between topological spaces, ring…
The classification of the local Galois representations using $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules by Fontaine has been generalized by Kisin and Ren over the Lubin-Tate extensions of local fields using the theory of $(\varphi_q,\Gamma_{LT})$-modules.…
The fundamental concepts in the Galois Theory are separable, normal and Galois field extensions. These concepts are central in proofs of the Galois Theory. In the paper, we introduce a new approach, a ring theoretic approach, to the Galois…
Galois cohomology groups $H^i(K,M)$ are widely used in algebraic number theory, in such contexts as Selmer groups of elliptic curves, Brauer groups of fields, class field theory, and Iwasawa theory. The standard construction of these groups…
We develop a Galois theory for difference ring extensions, inspired by Magid's separable Galois theory for ring extensions and by Janelidze's categorical Galois theory. Our difference Galois theorem states that the category of difference…
We discuss the motivation and main results of a quantum theory over a Galois field (GFQT). The goal of the paper is to describe main ideas of GFQT in a simplest possible way and to give clear and simple arguments that GFQT is a more natural…
We prove that two arithmetically significant extensions of a field F coincide if and only if the Witt ring WF is a group ring Z/n[G]. Furthermore, working modulo squares with Galois groups which are 2-groups, we establish a theorem…
Over a global field (number field or function field of a curve over a finite field), theorems for the Galois cohomology of algebraic groups have long been known. For $F$ the function field of a curve over the formal series field…
For a compact, oriented, hyperbolic $n$-manifold $(M,g)$, realised as $M= \Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}^{n}$ where $\Gamma$ is a torsion-free cocompact subgroup of $SO(n,1)$, we establish and study a relationship between differential…
We propose a definition of the profinite normal structure set for the set of all manifolds in a fixed profinite homotopy type. Using this framework, we prove that the Galois action of $Gal(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ on the…
This is a survey of our results on the relation between perturbative renormalization and motivic Galois theory. The main result is that all quantum field theories share a common universal symmetry realized as a motivic Galois group, whose…
This note presents Galois theory for finite fields. It was written as a handout for the MAT401 course ``Polynomial equations and fields'' taught at the University of Toronto in Spring 2026. We use without proofs some basic properties of…
We give a brief overview of the properties of a higher dimensional generalization of matrix model which arises naturally in the context of a background independent approach to quantum gravity, the so called group field theory. We show that…
In this ongoing work, we extend to a class of well-behaved pre-special hyperfields the work of J. Min\'a\v c and Spira (\cite{minac1996witt}) that describes a (pro-2)-group of a field extension that encodes the quadratic form theory of a…
