Let $\rho : G \rightarrow \operatorname{O}(V)$ be a real finite dimensional orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group, let $\sigma = (\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n) : V \to \mathbb R^n$, where $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_n$ form a minimal…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ be the moduli space over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of $g$-dimensional principally polarised abelian varieties, where $p$ is a prime. We show that if $g$ is even and $p\geq 5$, then every geometric generic member in the…

We classify all finite groups that have lifting property of mod $p$ representations to mod $p^2$ representations for all prime $p$.

In this note we study the geometry of torsors under flat and finite commutative group schemes of rank p above curves in characteristic p and above relative curves over a complete discrete valuation ring of inequal characteristics. In bothe…

We prove that if $f:X \rightarrow A$ is a morphism from a smooth projective variety $X$ to an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$, and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $X$ satisfying certain properties, and if a prime $p$…

Let $G$ be any group. The quotient group $T(G)$ of the multiple holomorph by the holomorph of $G$ has been investigated for various families of groups $G$. In this paper, we shall take $G$ to be a finite $p$-group of class two for any odd…

A problem of current interest, also motivated by applications to Coding theory, is to find explicit equations for \textit{maximal} curves, that are projective, geometrically irreducible, non-singular curves defined over a finite field…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $n>2$ an integer, and $F$ a CM field in which $p$ splits completely. Assume that a continuous automorphic Galois representation…

Suppose given a Galois etale cover Y -> X of proper non-singular curves over an algebraically closed field k of prime characteristic p. Let H be its Galois group, and G any finite extension of H by a p-group P. We give necessary and…

For a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, the Galois action on its torsion points gives rise to a Galois representation $\rho_E: Gal(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\to GL_2(\widehat{\mathbb{Z}})$ that is unique up to…

Oort has conjectured that there do not exist Shimura curves contained generically in the Torelli locus of genus-$g$ curves when $g$ is large enough. In this paper we prove the Oort conjecture for Shimura curves of Mumford type and Shimura…

The main theorem of Galois theory states that there are no finite group-subgroup pairs with the same invariants. On the other hand, if we consider complex linear reductive groups instead of finite groups, the analogous statement is no…

For each finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL_2(\mathbb{Q})$, and for each integer $n$ coprime to $6$, we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $G$ and whose ideal class group has $n$-rank at least…

We study $p$-group Galois covers $X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ with only one fully ramified point. These covers are important because of the Katz-Gabber compactification of Galois actions on complete local rings. The sequence of ramification…

Let $E$ be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb {Q}$. Fix an algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb {Q}}$ of $\mathbb {Q}$. We get a Galois representation \[\rho_E \colon Gal(\overline{\mathbb {Q}}/\mathbb {Q}) \to GL_2(\hat{\mathbb…

Let $K$ be a number field and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve whose mod $\ell$ Galois representation locally has image contained in a group $G$, up to conjugacy. We classify the possible images for the global Galois representation in the…

We show that the canonical-lift construction for ordinary elliptic curves over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$ extends uniquely to arbitrary families of ordinary elliptic curves, even over $p$-adic formal schemes. In particular, the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q$ a power of $p$. We examine the deformation theory of reducible and indecomposable Galois representations $\bar{\rho}:G_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \text{GSp}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that are unramified outside a…

We provide evidence for this conclusion: given a finite Galois cover $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{Q}$ of group $G$, almost all (in a density sense) realizations of $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ do not occur as specializations of $f$. We…

We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first…
