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…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $F$ be a number field. Consider a Galois extension $K/F$ with Galois group $H\rtimes \Delta$ where $H\cong \mathbb{Z}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}/p^d\mathbb{Z}$, and $\Delta$ is an arbitrary Galois group. The subfields…

Nonsingular derivations of modular Lie algebras which have finite multiplicative order play a role in the coclass theory for pro-$p$ groups and Lie algebras. A study of the set N_p of positive integers which occur as orders of nonsingular…

Let $\ell\geq 5$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{F}_\ell$ denote the finite field with $\ell$ elements. We show that the number of Galois extensions of the rationals with Galois group isomorphic to $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ and absolute…

Half-integral weight modular forms are naturally viewed as automorphic forms on the so-called metaplectic covering of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{Q}})$ -- a central extension by the roots of unity $\mu_2$ in $\mathbf{Q}$. For…

Let $\ell \geq 5$ be a prime and let $N$ be a square-free integer prime to $\ell$. For each prime $p$ dividing $N$, let $a_p$ be either $1$ or $-1$. We give sufficient criteria for the existence of a newform $f$ of weight 2 for…

For a number field $F$ and a prime number $p$, the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-torsion module of the Galois group of the maximal abelian pro-$p$ extension of $F$ unramified outside $p$ over $F$, denoted as $\mathcal{T}_p(F)$, is an important subject in…

Let F/k be a Galois extension of number fields with dihedral Galois group of order 2q, where q is an odd integer. We express a certain quotient of S-class numbers of intermediate fields, arising from Brauer-Kuroda relations, as a unit…

Let $K$ be a number field and $p$ a prime number $\geq 5$. Let us denote by $\mu_p$ the group of the $p$th roots of unity. We define $p$ to be $K$-regular if $p$ does not divide the class number of the field $K(\mu_p)$. Under the assumption…

Let p be a prime and K be a number field with non-trivial p-class group Cl(p,K). A crucial step in identifying the Galois group G=G(p,K) of the maximal unramified pro-p extension of K is to determine its two-stage approximation M=G(p,2,K),…

In 2000, L. H\'{e}thelyi and B. K\"{u}lshammer proved that if $p$ is a prime number dividing the order of a finite solvable group $G$, then $G$ has at least $2\sqrt{p-1}$ conjugacy classes. In this paper we show that if $p$ is large, the…

For finitely generated subgroups $W_1, \ldots , W_t$ of $\mathbb{Q}^{\times}$, integers $k_1, \ldots , k_t$, a Galois extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ and a union of conjugacy classes $C \subset \text{Gal}(F/\mathbb{Q})$, we develop methods…

In this paper we show how to construct, for most p >= 5, two types of surjective representations \rho:G_Q=Gal(\bar{Q}/Q) -> GL_2(Z_p) that are ramified at an infinite number of primes. The image of inertia at almost all of these primes will…

We establish several new bounds for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group, all of which involve the maximal number c of conjugacy classes of a normal subgroup fixed by some element of a suitable subset of the group. To apply…

Let $K= \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ be a real quadratic field with $d$ having three distinct prime factors. We show that the $2$-class group of each layer in the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of $K$ is $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ under certain elementary…

Let $n$ be a squarefree natural number, and let $G$, $\Gamma$ be two groups of order $n$. We determine the number of Hopf-Galois structures of type $G$ admitted by a Galois extension of fields with Galois group isomorphic to $\Gamma$. We…

For a Hopf-Galois structure on a Galois extension $L/K$ of fields that arises from a finite nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra $A$, we look at the Galois correspondence ratio, which measures the failure of surjectivity of the Galois…

Let $p$ and $\ell$ be primes such that $p > 3$ and $p \mid \ell-1$ and $k$ be an even integer. We use deformation theory of pseudo-representations to study the completion of the Hecke algebra acting on the space of cuspidal modular forms of…

We give a complete list of all the 70 class two groups of exponent p (p>2) and order p^k for k<9. For each of these groups the number of conjugacy classes is a polynomial in p, and the order of the automorphism group is a polynomial in p.…

This paper is an updated version of ANT-0372 (2002 dec 4) with the same title. Several errors are corrected in this version. An example of the kind of results obtained is: Let K/\Q be an abelian extension with N = [K:\Q] > 1, N odd. Let…
