Let $L(X)$ be a monic $q$-linearized polynomial over $F_q$ of degree $q^n$, where $n$ is an odd prime. Recently Gow and McGuire showed that the Galois group of $L(X)/X-t$ over the field of rational functions $F_q(t)$ is $GL_n(q)$ unless…

We extend Theorem 1 of R. Reams, A Galois approach to m-th roots of matrices with rational entries, LAA 258 (1997), 187-194. Let $p(\lambda)$ be any polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $A\in M_n(\mathbb{Q})$ have irreducible characteristic…

Given a quaternionic form G of a p-adic classical group (p odd) we classify all cuspidal irreducible representations of G with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. We prove two theorems: At…

Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…

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…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $k$ be an arbitrary field of characteristic not $p$. In this article we determine the obstructions for the realizability as Galois groups over $k$ of all groups of orders $p^5$ and $p^6$, that have an…

Let K be a totally real Galois number field and let A be a set of elliptic curves over K. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a finite computable set of rational primes P such that for p not in P and E in A, the…

Let $X$ be a complete smooth variety defined over number field $K$ and $i$ an integer. The absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the $i$th $l$-adic etale cohomology of $X$ for all $l$, producing a system of $l$-adic representations…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

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…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

Let p be an odd prime. Let F_p^* be the no-null part of the finite field of p elements. Let K = Q(zeta) be the p-cyclotomic field and let O_K be the ring of integers of K. Let pi be the prime ideal of K lying over p. An integer B \in O_K is…

Let $\ell$ be a prime, $k$ a finitely generated field of characteristic different from $\ell$, and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected curve over $k$. Say a semisimple representation of $\pi_1^{\mathrm{et}}(X_{\bar k})$ is arithmetic if it…

Given a fixed integer n, we consider closed subgroups G of H = GL(n,Z_p) where Z_p denotes the ring of p-adic integers and p is sufficiently large in terms of n. Assuming that the Zariski closure of G has no toric part, we give a condition…

In this note we prove that for every integer $d \geq 1$, there exists an explicit constant $B_d$ such that the following holds. Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$, let $q > \max\{d-1,5\}$ be any rational prime that is totally inert in…

Let $q$ be an odd prime and $k$ be a natural number. We show that a finite subset of integers $S$ that does not contain any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power residue modulo almost every natural numbers $N$ with at most $k$…

Mazur's principle gives a criterion under which an irreducible mod $\ell$ Galois representation arising from a modular form of level $Np$ (with $p$ prime to $N$) can also arise from a modular form of level $N.$ We prove an analogous result…
