Let K be a number field and let $\mathcal{E}$ be an elliptic curve defined over $K$. Let $m$ be a positive integer. We denote by $K(\mathcal{E}[m])$ the number fields obtained by adding to $K$ the coordinates of the $m$-torsion points of…

The aim of the inverse Galois problem is to find extensions of a given field whose Galois group is isomorphic to a given group. In this article, we are interested in subgroups of GL(2,Z/nZ) where n is an integer. We know that, in general,…
This article is concerned with the relative McKay conjecture for finite reductive groups. Let G be a connected reductive group defined over the finite field F_q of characteristic p>0 with corresponding Frobenius map F. We prove that if the…
We show how the output of the algorithm to compute modular Galois representations described in our previous article can be certified. We have used this process to compute certified tables of such Galois representations obtained thanks to an…
Let G be the absolute Galois group of a global field. Let r1 and r2 be two p-adic, finite dimensional representations of G. Then there exists a finite number of primes q such that if the characteristic polynomials of r1(Frob_q) and…
The classical It\^o-Michler theorem on character degrees of finite groups asserts that if the degree of every complex irreducible character of a finite group $G$ is coprime to a given prime $p$, then $G$ has a normal Sylow $p$-subgroup. We…
We compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of hyperelliptic curves $\mathcal{H}_g$ over any field of characteristic zero. In positive characteristic, we compute the part of the Brauer group whose order is prime to the characteristic of…
We produce a new family of polynomials f(x) over fields K of characteristic 2 which are exceptional, in the sense that f(x)-f(y) has no absolutely irreducible factors in K[x,y] besides the scalar multiples of x-y; when K is finite, this…
We show that a finite-dimensional tame division algebra D over a Henselian field F has a maximal subfield Galois over F if and only if its residue division algebra has a maximal subfield Galois over the residue field of F. This generalizes…
For a finite group $G$, we introduce a generalization of norm relations in the group algebra $\mathbb Q[G]$. We give necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence of such relations and apply them to obtain relations between the…
In this paper, we prove new instances of the inverse Galois problem over global function fields for finite groups of Lie type. This is done by constructing compatible systems of $\ell$-adic Galois representations valued in a semisimple…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, and let $\mathrm{GSp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ and $\mathrm{GO}^{\pm}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ denote the symplectic and orthogonal groups of similitudes…
Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field F, A the abelian surface E x E, and T_F(A) the F-rational albanese kernel of A, which is a subgroup of the degree zero part of Chow group of zero cycles on A modulo rational equivalence. The…
A polynomial time algorithm to give a complete description of all subfields of a given number field was given in an article by van Hoeij et al. This article reports on a massive speedup of this algorithm. This is primary achieved by our new…
If $G$ is a solvable group, we take $\Delta (G)$ to be the character degree graph for $G$ with primes as vertices. We prove that if $\Delta (G)$ is a square, then $G$ must be a direct product.
We study toric varieties over a field k that split in a Galois extension K/k using Galois cohomology with coefficients in the toric automorphism group. Part of this Galois cohomology fits into an exact sequence induced by the presentation…
We show that each local field $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is characterised up to isomorphism within the class of all fields of imperfect exponent at most $1$ by (certain small quotients of) its absolute Galois group…
In this paper we determine the ordinary irreducible characters of the five-dimensional full linear group over a Galois field of q elements. We use the techniques developed by J. A. Green.
We prove two "large images" results for the Galois representations attached to a degree $d$ Q-curve $E$ over a quadratic field $K$: if $K$ is arbitrary, we prove maximality of the image for every prime $p >13$ not dividing $d$, provided…
