The aim of Bogomolov's programme is to prove birational anabelian conjectures for function fields $K|k$ of varieties of dimension $\geq 2$ over algebraically closed fields. The present article is concerned with the 1-dimensional case. While…

We consider function fields of transcendence degree at least 2 over algebraic closures of finite fields, and describe a functorial way to recover such function fields form their pro-l Galois theory.

We prove that function fields of varieties of dimension at least two over an algebraic closure of a finite field are determined, modulo purely inseparable extensions, by the quotient by the second term in the lower central series of their…

Let $\Pi^c_K\to\Pi_K$ be the maximal pro-$\ell$ abelian-by-central, respectively abelian, Galois groups of a function field $K|k$ with $k$ algebraically closed and ${\rm char}\neq\ell$. We show that $K|k$ can be functorially reconstructed…

We survey recent developments in the Birational Anabelian Geometry program aimed at the reconstruction of function fields of algebraic varieties over algebraically closed fields from pieces of their absolute Galois groups.

A main problem in Galois theory is to characterize the fields with a given absolute Galois group. We apply a K-theoretic method for constructing valuations to study this problem in various situations. As a first application we obtain an…

The goal of this paper is to develop a group-theoretic algorithm, to reconstruct a number field (together with its maximal m-step solvable ex- tension for some positive integer m \geq 3) from the maximal m+9-step solv- able quotient of its…

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 develop Kummer theory for algebraic function fields in finitely many transcendental variables. We consider any finitely generated Kummer extension (possibly, over a cyclotomic extension) of an algebraic function field, and describe the…

In this paper, we develop a new method to reconstruct an abelian number field $K$ from the maximal $6$-step solvable quotient of $G_K$ group- theoretically. The new aspect of this paper is that the results in this paper are independent from…

We formulate for function fields an analog of Serre's conjecture on the modularity of 2-dimensional irreducible mod l representations of the absolute Galois group of Q: our analog is not restricted to 2-dimensional represntations. While the…

Let K be a field and \ell be a prime such that char K \neq \ell. In the presence of sufficiently many roots of unity in K, we show how to recover some of the inertia/decomposition structure of valuations inside the maximal (\Z/\ell)-abelian…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a positive integer $N$, let $K_\mathfrak{n}$ be the ray class field of $K$ modulo $\mathfrak{n}=N\mathcal{O}_K$. By using the…

In previous works, we described algorithms to compute the number field cut out by the mod ell representation attached to a modular form of level N=1. In this article, we explain how these algorithms can be generalised to forms of higher…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field with discriminant $d_K\leq-7$. We deal with problems of constructing normal bases between abelian extensions of $K$ by making use of singular values of Siegel functions. First, we show that a…

We call a (q-1)-th Kummer extension of a cyclotomic function field a quasi-cyclotomic function field if it is Galois, but non-abelian, over the rational function field with the constant field of q elements. In this paper, we determine the…

We finish the proof of the conjecture of F. Bogomolov and F. Pop: Let $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$ be fields finitely-generated and of transcendence degree $\geq 2$ over $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$, respectively, where $k_{1}$ is either $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$…

Let $U/K$ be a smooth affine curve over a number field and let $L$ be an irreducible rank 3 $\overline{\mathbb Q}_{\ell}$-local system on $U$ with trivial determinant and infinite geometric monodromy around a cusp. Suppose further that $L$…

In this note, we consider function fields of higher-dimensional algebraic varieties defined over non-local fields, and show how the Galois action on the cohomology such function fields can be used to parameterize their divisorial…

In this paper we use the Merkurjev-Suslin theorem to explore the structure of arithmetically significant Galois modules that arise from Kummer theory. Let K be a field of characteristic different from a prime \ell, n a positive integer, and…
