The wild group is the group of wild automorphisms of a local field of characteristic p. In this paper we apply Fontaine-Wintenberger's theory of fields of norms to study the structure of the wild group. In particular we provide a new short…

It is shown how a chiral Wess-Zumino-Witten theory with globally defined vertex operators and a one-to-one correspondence between fields and states can be constructed. The Hilbert space of this theory is the direct sum of tensor products of…

In the 1960's, Birch proved that the traces of Frobenius for elliptic curves taken at random over a large finite field is modeled by the semicircular distribution (i.e. the usual Sato-Tate for non-CM elliptic curves). In analogy with…

Let K and F be complete discrete valuation fields of residue characteristic p>0. Let m be a positive integer no more than their absolute ramification indices. Let s and t be their uniformizers. Let L/K and E/F be finite extensions such that…

We describe integral lifts K(L), indexed by local fields L of degree n = [L:\Q_p], of the extraordinary cohomology theories K(n), and apply the generalized character theory of Hopkins, Kuhn and Ravenel to identify K(L)(BG) \otimes \Q$, for…

Following work of Raleigh and Akiyama (\cite{raleigh1962fourier, akiyama1992note}), in \cite{interpolating} we considered (among other objects) families of weight zero meromorphic modular forms $J_m$ for Hecke groups $G(\lambda_m)$. We…

Within the framework of the discrete Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory we analyze the structure of vertex operators on a lattice. In particular, the lattice analogues of operator product expansions and braid relations are discussed. As the…

Greenberg examined the local behavior of Iwasawa invariants as functions on the the set of all $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions of a number field $F$. Kleine later extended these ideas to explore the variation of Iwasawa invariants in the context…

Let $p$ be a prime number, let $K$ be a $p$-field (a local field with finite residue field of characteristic $p$), let $L$ be a finite galoisian tamely ramified extension of $K$, and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L|K)$. Suppose that $L$ is split over…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. It is proved that each automorphism $\s \in \Aut_K(\CDPn)$ of the ring $\CDPn$ of differential operators on a polynomial algebra $P_n= K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ is {\em uniquely} determined by the…

The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers O_k of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the O_k-module structure of O_K. We call R_t(k,G) the classes which are…

We extend our previous classification of stacky curves in positive characteristic using higher ramification data and Artin-Schreier-Witt theory. The main new technical tool introduced is the Artin-Schreier-Witt root stack, a generalization…

We propose a generalization of the graphical ZH calculus to qudits of prime-power dimensions $q = p^t$, implementing field arithmetic in arbitrary finite fields. This is an extension of a previous result by Roy which implemented arithmetic…

We construct Fourier transforms relating functions and distributions on finite height $p$-divisible rigid analytic groups and objects in a dual category of $\mathbb{Z}_p$-local systems with analyticity conditions. Our Fourier transforms are…

The main scope of this short paper is to provide a modification of the axioms given by Messmer and Wood for the theory of separably closed fields of positive characteristic and finite imperfectness degree. The original axioms failed to meet…

Prototypical rational vertex operator algebras are associated to affine Lie algebras at positive integer level k. They correspond physically to the Wess-Zumino-Witten theories, and their representation theory can be captured by quantum…

Let p be a prime number which is split in an imaginary quadratic field k. Let \mathfrak{p} be a place of k above p. Let k_\infty be the unique Z_p-extension of k which unramified outside of \mathfrak{p}, and let K_\intfy be a finite…

Let $S$ be a smooth del Pezzo surface over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2, 3$. We define an invariant in the Grothendieck-Witt ring $GW(k)$ for "counting" rational curves in a curve class $D$ of fixed positive degree (with respect to…

We extend the big and $p$-typical Witt vector functors from commutative rings to commutative semirings. In the case of the big Witt vectors, this is a repackaging of some standard facts about monomial and Schur positivity in the…

In this paper we develop a novel approach to Witt vector rings and to the (relative) de Rham Witt complex. We do this in the generality of arbitrary commutative algebras and arbitrary truncation sets. In our construction of Witt vector…
