We determine the -1 Tate cohomology group of the units for principal abelian extensions of type (p^a, p^b) of a number field.
Let K be a field and G a finite group. The question of 'admissibility' of G over K was originally posed by Schacher, who gave partial results in the case K = Q. In this paper, we give necessary conditions for admissibility of a finite group…
For a set $A$ of $k$ elements from an additive abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $r \leq k$, we consider the set of elements of $G$ that can be written as a sum of $h$ elements of $A$ with at least $r$ distinct elements. We denote…
Let $k$ be a number field and let $T$ be a $k$-torus. Consider a fibration in torsors under $T$, i.e. a morphism $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ from a smooth, projective $k$-variety $X$ to $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ such that the generic fibre $X_\eta \to…
An approach to reasoning with default rules where the proportion of exceptions, or more generally the probability of encountering an exception, can be at least roughly assessed is presented. It is based on local uncertainty propagation…
In this paper, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition on the parameters of the Hypergeometric distribution for weak convergence to a Normal limit. We establish a Berry-Esseen theorem for the Hypergeometric distribution solely under…
We use the notion of universal extension in a linear abelian category to study extensions of variations of mixed Hodge structure and convergent and overconvergent isocrystals. The results we obtain apply, for example, to prove the exactness…
We investigate the Hasse principle for Diophantine systems consisting of one diagonal form of degree $k$ and one general form of degree $k-1$. By refining the method of Brandes and Parsell (arXiv:2003.04350) in this specific setting, we…
We formulate and establish the central limit theorem for products of i.i.d. random variables on arbitrary simply connected nilpotent Lie groups, allowing a possible bias. Two new phenomena arise in the presence of a bias: (a) the walk…
We count abelian number fields ordered by arbitrary height function whose generator of tame inertia is restricted to lie in a given subset of the Galois group, and find an explicit formula for the leading constant. We interpret our results…
We confirm the Jamneshan-Tao conjecture for finite abelian groups of rank at most a fixed integer $R$ (i.e. finite abelian groups generated by at most $R$ elements), by proving an inverse theorem for 1-bounded functions of non-trivial…
Let $k$ be a field. Let $A=\prod_{i=1}^r K_i$ and $B=\prod_{j=1}^s E_j$ be \'etale $k$-algebras where $K_i$ and $E_j$ are finite separable field extensions of $k$ with $[K_i:k]=m_i$ and $[E_j:k]=n_j$. Let…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for abelian varieties to acquire semistable reduction over fields of low degree. Our criteria are expressed in terms of torsion points of small order defined over unramified extensions.
We consider the problem of counting the number of varieties in a family over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a rational point. We obtain lower bounds for this counting problem for some families over $\mathbb{P}^1$, even if the Hasse principle fails. We…
We investigate local-global principles for multinorm equations over a global field. To this extent, we generalize work of Drakokhrust and Platonov to provide explicit and computable formulae for the obstructions to the Hasse principle and…
Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The paper provides improvements on the Weil estimates for the size of $A(\mathbb{F}_q)$. For an arbitrary value of $q$ we prove $(\lfloor(\sqrt{q}-1)^2…
Quaternion extensions are often the smallest extensions to exhibit special properties. In the setting of the Hasse-Arf Theorem, for instance, quaternion extensions are used to illustrate the fact that upper ramification numbers need not be…
We give a new method for counting extensions of a number field asymptotically by discriminant, which we employ to prove many new cases of Malle's Conjecture and counterexamples to Malle's Conjecture. We consider families of extensions whose…
Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field K, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension L is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree [L : K]. When A is isogenous to a product of simple abelian varieties…
We prove that any finite abelian group $G$ contains a collection of not too many subsets with a special structure, so that for every subset $A$ of $G$ with a small doubling, there is a member $F$ of the collection that is fully contained in…
