Taking a combinatorial point of view on cyclotomic polynomials leads to a larger class of polynomials we shall call the inclusion-exclusion polynomials. This gives a more appropriate setting for certain types of questions about the…

We describe the Sylow subgroups of Gal(Q) for an odd prime p, by observing and studying their decomposition as a semidirect product of Z_p acting on F, where F is a free pro-p group, and Z_p are the p-adic integers. We determine the finite…

Let $p$ be a given modulus, let $u$ be prime to $p$, and consider the linear permutation $u\cdot n\pmod p$ of the residue system modulo $p$. Writing $\langle x\rangle_p$ to denote the least nonnegative residue of $x$ modulo $p$, we say that…

For any prime p and any positive integer n, let B(p,n) denote the n-th layer of the cyclotomic Z_p-extension over the rationals. Based on the heuristics of Cohen and Lenstra, and refined by new results on class numbers of particular B(p,n),…

The computation of the characters of supercuspidal representations of a p-adic group involves some 4th roots of unity whose values are defined in terms of orbits of the Galois group of a p-field on a root system. The part of the definition…

Fix an odd prime $p$, and let $F$ be a field containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. It is known that a $p$-rigid field $F$ is characterized by the property that the Galois group $G_F(p)$ of the maximal $p$-extension $F(p)/F$ is a…

We determine the set of quaternionic Serre weights for generic two-dimensional mod $p$ representation of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb Q}_p / K)$, where $K$ is a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$.

Let X be a normal complex algebraic variety, and p a prime. We show that there exists an integer N=N(X, p) such that: any non-trivial, irreducible representation of the fundamental group of X, which arises from geometry, must be non-trivial…

The complexity of a module is the rate of growth of the minimal projective resolution of the module while the $z$-complexity is the rate of growth of the number of indecomposable summands at each step in the resolution. Let…

This paper justifies an assertion in (Elder, Proc AMS 137 (2009), no 4, 1193--1203) that Galois scaffolds make the questions of Galois module structure tractable. Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$ and let $K=k((T))$. For the…

For odd primes $p$ we consider the factors \[ A(p)=\frac{p-\chi_4(p)}{p+\chi_4(p)}, \qquad \chi_4(p)= \begin{cases} 1,&p\equiv 1\pmod 4, \\ -1,&p\equiv 3\pmod 4, \end{cases} \] and study products of $A(p)$ restricted to unions of residue…

We studied framed deformations of two dimensional Galois representation of which the residue representation restrict to decomposition groups are scalars, and established a modular lifting theorem for certain cases. We then proved a family…

The Euler quotient modulo an odd-prime power $p^r~(r>1)$ can be uniquely decomposed as a $p$-adic number of the form $$ \frac{u^{(p-1)p^{r-1}} -1}{p^r}\equiv a_0(u)+a_1(u)p+\ldots+a_{r-1}(u)p^{r-1} \pmod {p^r},~ \gcd(u,p)=1, $$ where $0\le…
