Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified elementary abelian $p$-extension with a single ramification break $b$. Byott and Elder defined the refined ramification breaks of $L/K$, an extension of the…
We completely determine which extension of local fields satisfies Fontaine's property (Pm) for a given real number m. A key ingredient of the proof is the local class field theory of Serre and Hazewinkel.
This note establishes the full range of $L^p$--$L^q$ Fourier extension estimates for the model $n$-dimensional quadratic submanifold in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+3)/2}$ parametrized by $\gamma(x_1,\ldots,x_n) := (x_1,\ldots,x_n, (x_i x_j)_{1 \leq i…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for two Hopf algebras presented as central extensions to be isomorphic, in a suitable setting. We then study the question of isomorphism between the Hopf algebras constructed in 0707.0070v1 as…
We give a simple characterization of the totally wild ramified valuations in a Galois extension of fields of characteristic p. This criterion involves the valuations of Artin-Schreier cosets of the F_{p^r}^\times-translation of a single…
Suppose G is a semi-direct product of the form Z/p^n \rtimes Z/m where p is prime and m is relatively prime to p. Suppose K is a local field of characteristic p > 0. The main result states necessary and sufficient conditions on the…
For a prime ideal $\mathfrak{P}$ of the ring of integers of a number field $K$, we give a general definition of $\mathfrak{P}$-adic continued fraction, which also includes classical definitions of continued fractions in the field of…
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $2$ and let $K/F$ be a purely inseparable extension of exponent $1$. We show that the extension is excellent for quadratic forms. Using the excellence we recover and extend results by Aravire and…
This is an introduction to the author theory of cyclic p-extensions of an absolutely unramified complete discrete valuation field K with arbitrary residue field of characteristic p. In this theory a homomorphism is constructed from the…
Let $K$ be a local field with residue characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified extension of degree $p^k$. In this paper we show that if $L/K$ has only two distinct indices of inseparability then there exists a uniformizer…
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 $G$…
Let $ K / k $ be a purely inseparable extension of characteristic $ p> 0 $ and of finite size. We recall that $K/k$ is modular if for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$,$K^{p^n}$ and $k$ are $k\cap K^{p^ n}$-linearly disjoint. A natural…
The present paper shows that if $q \in \mathbb P$ or $q = 0$, where $\mathbb P$ is the set of prime numbers, then there exist characteristic $q$ fields $E _{q,k}\colon \ k \in \mathbb N$, of Brauer dimension Brd$(E _{q,k}) = k$ and infinite…
Let $F$ be a characteristic zero differential field with an algebraically closed field of constants and let $E$ be a no new constants extension of $F$. We say that $E$ is an \textsl{iterated antiderivative extension} of $F$ if $E$ is a…
We introduce the finitistic extension degree of a ring and investigate rings for which it is finite. The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture is proved for rings of finite finitistic extension degree and these rings are also shown to have finite…
Let $K$ be a $p$-adic field, and let $K_\infty/K$ be a Galois extension that is almost totally ramified, and whose Galois group is a $p$-adic Lie group of dimension $1$. We prove that $K_\infty$ is not dense in $(\mathbf{B}_{\mathrm{dR}}^+…
Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a nonarchimedean real-valued norm, and let $L/K$ be an algebraic extension. We show that there is a unique norm on $L$ extending the given norm on $K$, with an explicit description. As an…
In this paper, we study questions of definability and decidability for infinite algebraic extensions ${\bf K}$ of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ and their subrings of $\mathcal{S}$-integral functions. We focus on fields ${\bf K}$ satisfying a local…
Assuming a certain form of resolution of singularities, we prove a general existential Ax-Kochen/Ershov principle for tamely ramified fields in all characteristics. This specializes to well-known results in residue characteristic $0$ and…
