Let $C \subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be a canonical curve of genus $4$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. For a line $l \subset \mathbb{P}^3$, we consider the projection $\pi_l: C \to \mathbb{P}^1$ from $l$ and the…
We present a family of algorithms for computing the Galois group of a polynomial defined over a $p$-adic field. Apart from the "naive" algorithm, these are the first general algorithms for this task. As an application, we compute the Galois…
For a local field with finite residue field of characteristique p, we give some refinements of Serre's mass formula in degree p which allow us to compute for example the contribution of cyclic extensions, or of those whose galoisian closure…
For a finite group $G$, we obtain asymptotics for the number of connected components of Hurwitz spaces of marked $G$-covers (of both the affine and projective lines) whose monodromy classes are constrained in a certain way, when the number…
We give an exact formula for the number of $G$-extensions of local function fields $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ for finite abelian groups $G$ up to a conductor bound. As an application we give a lower bound for the corresponding counting problem by…
As an analogue of a link group, we consider the Galois group of the maximal pro-$p$-extension of a number field with restricted ramification which is cyclotomically ramified at $p$, i.e, tamely ramified over the intermediate cyclotomic…
We address two interrelated problems concerning the permutation of roots of univariate polynomials whose coefficients depend on parameters. First, we compute the Galois group of polynomials $\varphi(x)\in\mathbb{C}[y_1,\cdots,y_k][x]$ over…
We compute new polynomials with Galois group $M_{11}$ over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$. These polynomials stem from various families of covers of $\mathbb{P}^1\mathbb{C}$ ramified over at least 4 points. Each of these families has features that make a…
A general analysis framework is presented in this paper for many different types of finite element methods (including various discontinuous Galerkin methods). For second order elliptic equation, this framework employs $4$ different…
We prove that a free profinite (pro-$p$) product over a set converging to 1 of countably many Demushkin groups of rank $\aleph_0$, $G_i$, that can be realized as absolute Galois groups, is isomorphic to an absolute Galois group if and only…
For $m\geq2$, let $F$ be a field of characteristic prime to $m$ and containing the roots of unity of order $m$, and let $G_F$ be its absolute Galois group. We show that the 3-fold Massey products $\langle\chi_1,\chi_2,\chi_3\rangle$, with…
We consider the p-Zassenhaus filtration (G_n) of a profinite group G. Suppose that G=S/N for a free profinite group S and a normal subgroup N of S contained in S_n. Under a cohomological assumption on the n-fold Massey products (which holds…
We set up a general framework to study Tate cohomology groups of Galois modules along $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of number fields. Under suitable assumptions on the Galois modules, we establish the existence of a five-term exact sequence in…
We prove a local-global principle for the embedding problems of global fields with restricted ramification. By this local-global principle, for a global field $k$, we use only the local information to give a presentation of the maximal…
Let $p\geq 7$ be a prime and $n>1$ be a natural number. We show that there exist infinitely many Galois representations $\varrho:Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow GL_{n}(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which are unramified outside $\{p, \infty\}$…
In this paper we study the universal lifting spaces of local Galois representations valued in arbitrary reductive group schemes when $\ell \neq p$. In particular, under certain technical conditions applicable to any root datum we construct…
Let $f(x)=x^8+ax^4+b \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial where $b$ is a square. We give a method that completely describes the factorization patterns of a linear resolvent of $f(x)$ using simple arithmetic conditions on $a$ and…
Let $G$ be a matrix group. Topological $G$-manifolds with Palais-proper action have the $G$-homotopy type of countable $G$-CW complexes (3.2). This generalizes E Elfving's dissertation theorem for locally linear $G$-manifolds (1996). Also…
We disprove a strong form of the Regular Inverse Galois Problem: there exist finite groups $G$ which do not have a realization $F/\Qq(T)$ that induces all Galois extensions $L/\Qq(U)$ of group $G$ by specializing $T$ to $f(U) \in \Qq(U)$.…
We study quadratic forms that can occur as trace forms of Galois field extensions L/K, under the assumption that K contains a primitive 4th root of unity. M. Epkenhans conjectured that any such form is a scaled Pfister form. We prove this…
