Suppose $p$ is a prime, $t$ is a positive integer, and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients of absolute value $<\!p^t$. We show that for any fixed $t$, we can compute the number of roots in…

We classify stably/retract rational norm one tori in dimension $p-1$ where $p$ is a prime number and in dimension up to ten with some minor exceptions.

For $p$ an odd prime number, $q_{0}=p^{t}$, and $q=p^{2t-1}$, let $\mathcal{X}_{\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{S}}}$ be the nonsingular model of $$ Y^{q}-Y=X^{q_{0}}(X^{q}-X). $$ In the present work, the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$-rational…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $m,r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ with $m$ coprime to $p$. In this paper we investigate the real quadratic fields $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m^2p^{2r} + 1})$. We first show that for $m < C$, where constant $C$ depends on $p$,…

Let $p$ be an irregular prime. Let $K=\Q(\zeta)$ be the $p$-cyclotomic field. From Kummer and class field theory, there exist Galois extensions $S/\Q$ of degree $p(p-1)$ such that $S/K$ is a cyclic unramified extension of degree $[S:K]=p$.…

Let $k$ be any field, $G$ be a finite group acting on the rational function field $k(x_g:g\in G)$ by $h\cdot x_g=x_{hg}$ for any $h,g\in G$. Define $k(G)=k(x_g:g\in G)^G$. Noether's problem asks whether $k(G)$ is rational (= purely…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

In this paper, for any nonic number field $K$ generated by a root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $F(x)=x^9+ax+b \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and for every rational prime $p$, we characterize when $p$ divides the index of $K$. We also…

Motivated by the classical Noether's problem, J. Alev and F. Dumas proposed the following question, commonly referred to as the noncommutative Noether's problem: Let a finite group $G$ act linearly on $\mathbb{C}^n,$ inducing the action on…

Let $R$ be a complete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$ with algebraically closed fraction field $K$ and residue field $k$. Let $X/R$ be a smooth projective morphism. We show that if $X_k$ is stably rational, then $H^3(X_K,…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $g(p)$ be the least primitive root modulo $p$. We prove that for any $\epsilon>0$ and $p$ large enough the bound \begin{align} g(p)\ll p^{\frac{1}{4\sqrt{e}}+\epsilon} \nonumber \end{align} holds for most prime…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

We classify compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$, where $g-1$ is a prime $p$, which have a group of automorphisms of order $\rho(g-1)$ for some integer $\rho\ge 1$, and determine isogeny decompositions of the corresponding Jacobian…

For an imaginary quadratic field $k$ of class number $>1$, we prove that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of rational indefinite quaternion division algebras $B$ such that the associated Shimura curve $M^B$ has $k$-rational…

Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of K\otimes pp_k(G),…

Let K/k be an Abelian extension of number fields, S be a set of places of k, and p be an odd prime number. We continue an earlier investigation of the author into the values at zero of the S-imprimitive partial zeta functions of K/k. An…

Suppose that G is a finite group and x in G has prime order p > 3. Then x is contained in the solvable radical of G if (and only if) <x,x^g> is solvable for all g in G. If G is an almost simple group and x in G has prime order p > 3 then…

In this manuscript, a solution to Problem 18.91(b) in the Kourovka Notebook is given by proving the following theorem. Let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a group $G$ with $|P| = p^n$. Suppose that there is an integer $k$ such that $1 < k <…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a local field and $G$ be a linear algebraic group defined over $\mathbb F$. For $k\in\mathbb N$, let $g\to g^k$ be the $k$-th power map $P_k$ on $G(\mathbb F)$. The purpose of this article is two-fold. First, we study the…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that the center of the generic division algebra of degree $p$ is stably rational over $F$. Equivalently, if we let $V=M_p(F) \oplus…
