Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of p-adic fields. We prove that every smooth irreducible ladder representation of the group $GL_n(E)$ which is contragredient to its own Galois conjugate, possesses the expected distinction properties…

For a number field $F$ and an odd prime number $p,$ let $\tilde{F}$ be the compositum of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of $F$ and $\tilde{\Lambda}$ the associated Iwasawa algebra. Let $G_{S}(\tilde{F})$ be the Galois group over $\tilde{F}$…

Let F be a global function field and let F^ab be its maximal abelian extension. Following an approach of D.Hayes, we shall construct a continuous homomorphism \rho: Gal(F^ab/F) \to C_F, where C_F is the idele class group of F. Using class…

We study the indecomposable summands of the permutation module obtained by inducing the trivial $\mathbb{F}(S_a\wr S_n)$-module to the full symmetric group $S_{an}$ for any field $\mathbb{F}$ of odd prime characteristic $p$ such that…

We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…

We define the canonical submodule of a Drinfeld module of rank greater than one over the affine line over a finite field. (This extends the definition of the level 1 canonical subgroup of Hattori for rank 2 with ordinary reduction.) We give…

Elaborating on ideas of Elkies, we show how recursive equations for towers of Drinfeld modular curves $(X_0(P^n))_{n\ge 0}$ for $P\in \mathbb F_q[T]$ can be read of directly from the modular polynomial $\Phi_P(X,Y)$ and how this naturally…

Let K be a number field, and let lambda(x,t)\in K[x, t] be irreducible over K(t). Using algebraic geometry and group theory, we study the set of alpha\in K for which the specialized polynomial lambda(x,alpha) is K-reducible. We apply this…

We compute necessary conditions on Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the groups SL(2,Fq) and GL(2,Fq) to generate finite dimensional Nichols algebras. This is a first step towards a classification of pointed Hopf algebras with a group of…

We introduce the first provably efficient algorithm to check if a finitely generated subgroup of an almost simple semi-simple group over the rationals is Zariski-dense. We reduce this question to one of computing Galois groups, and to this…

Let X be an algebraic curve. We study the problem of parametrizing geometric data over X, which is only generically defined. E.g., parametrizing generically defined (aka rational) maps from X to a fixed target scheme Y. There are three…

We present a geometric setting for the differential Galois theory of $G$-invariant connections with parameters. As an application of some classical results on differential algebraic groups and Lie algebra bundles, we see that the Galois…

Let $p$ be a primer number, $n \geq 3$ and integer. Let $f(X) = X^n + a_{n-1}X^{n-1} + \cdots +a_1 X + a_0 \in \mathbb{F}_p[X]$ be a primitive polynomial of degree $n$. Let $C_f$ be the companion matrix of $f(X)$, and $G$ the companion…

We determine the representation of the group of automorphisms for cyclotomic function fields in characteristic $p > 0$ induced by the natural action on the space of holomorphic differentials via construction of an explicit basis of…

It is proved that the profinite completion of the mapping class group Mod (g,n) of a surface of genus g with n boundary components is isomorphic to such of the arithmetic group GL(6g-6+2n, Z). We establish a relation between the normal…

We investigate some Galois groups of linearized polynomials over fields such as $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. The space of roots of such a polynomial is a module for its Galois group. We present a realization of the symmetric powers of this module, as…

We present an algorithm for computing the structure of any submodule of the module of points of a Drinfeld $A$-module over a finite field, where $A$ is a function ring over $\mathbb F_q$. When the function ring is $A = \mathbb F_q[T]$, we…

We prove that for any prime $p>2$, $q=p^\nu$ a power of $p$, $n\ge p$ and $G=S_n$ or $G=A_n$ (symmetric or alternating group) there exists a Galois extension $K/\mathbb F_q(T)$ ramified only over $\infty$ with $\mathrm{Gal}(K/\mathbb…

For all $n \geq 1$, there is a notion of $n$-smooth group scheme over any $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra $R$, which may be thought of as a ``Frobenius analogue" of $n$-truncated Barsotti-Tate groups over $R$. We show that the category of $n$-smooth…

We construct moduli stacks of two-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of a p-adic local field, and relate their geometry to the weight part of Serre's conjecture for GL(2).
