We discuss the following two problems: 1) The properties of the multiple zeta-values and their generalizations, multiple polylogarithms at N-th roots of unity; 2) The action of the absolute Galois group on the pro-l-completion of the…

We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…

The Galois ring $GR(p^r,m)$ of characteristic $p^r$ and cardinality $p^{rm}$, where $p$ is a prime and $r,m \ge 1$ are integers, is a Galois extension of the residue class ring $Z_{p^r}$ by a root $\omega$ of a monic basic irreducible…

In this paper, we investigate the group of endotrivial modules for certain $p$-groups. Such groups were already been computed by Carlson-Th\'evenaz using the theory of support varieties; however, we provide novel homotopical proofs of their…

Let $p_{1}, p_{2}$ be two distinct prime integers, let $n$ be a positive integer, $n$$\geq 3$ and let $\xi_{n} $ be a primitive root of order $n$ of the unity. In this paper we obtain a complete characterization for a quaternion algebra…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $n$ a positive integer and $g$ a primitive root of $p^n$. Suppose $D_i^{(p^n)}=\{g^{2s+i}|s=0,1,2,\cdots,\frac{(p-1)p^{n-1}}{2}\}$, $i=0,1$, is the generalized cyclotomic classes with $Z_{p^n}^{\ast}=D_0\cup D_1$.…

We classify all cyclotomic matrices over real quadratic integer rings and we show that this classification is the same as classifying cyclotomic matrices over the compositum all real quadratic integer rings. Moreover, we enumerate a related…

This paper presents some basic theorems giving the structure of cyclic codes of length n over the ring of integers modulo p^a and over the p-adic numbers, where p is a prime not dividing n. An especially interesting example is the 2-adic…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

Let $p$ be prime, and $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$. When $K/F$ is a cyclic extension of degree $p^n$, we determine the $\mathbb{Z}/p^m\mathbb{Z}[\text{Gal}(K/F)]$-module structure of $K^\times/K^{\times p^m}$. With at most one exception, each…

We derive a parameterization of simple modules for the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $G(r,p,n)$ over field of any (coprime to $p$) characteristic. We give explicit formulas for the number of simple modules over these cyclotomic Hecke…

Let f(x) be a polynomial of degree at least 5 with complex coefficients and without repeated roots. Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that all the coefficients of f(x) lie in a subfield K such that: 1) K contains a primitive p-th root of…

We estimate the number of possible types degree patterns of $k$-lacunary polynomials of degree $t < p$ which split completely modulo $p$. The result is based on a combination of a bound on the number of zeros of lacunary polynomials with…

We compute all the moments of the p-torsion in the first step of a filtration of the class group defined by Gerth for cyclic fields of degree p, unconditionally for p=3 and under GRH in general. We show that it satisfies a distribution…

We discuss ways that the ring of coefficients for a TQFT can be reduced if one restricts somewhat the allowed cobordisms. When we apply these methods to a TQFT associated to SO(3) at an odd prime p, we obtain a functor from a somewhat…

We establish that any finite extension of function fields of genus greater than 1 whose relative class group is trivial is Galois and cyclic. This depends on a result from a preceding paper which establishes a finite list of possible Weil…

The aim of this paper is to present an algorithm the complexity of which is polynomial to compute the semi-simplified modulo $p$ of a semi-stable $\Q_p$-representation of the absolute Galois group of a $p$-adic field (\emph{i.e.} a finite…

In the late 1990's, R. Coleman and R. Greenberg (independently) asked for a global property characterizing those $p$-ordinary cuspidal eigenforms whose associated Galois representation becomes decomposable upon restriction to a…

We describe the set of prime numbers splitting completely in the non-abelian splitting field of certain monic irreducible polynomials of degree three. As an application we establish some divisibility properties of the associated ternary…

For modular indecomposable representations of a cyclic group $G$ of prime order $p$ we propose a list of polynomial invariants of degree $\leq 3$ that, together with a simple invariant of degree $p$, separate generic orbits and generate the…
