Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$. It is known that $L/K$ admits exactly two Hopf-Galois structures when $G$ is non-abelian simple. In this paper, we extend this result to the case when $G$ is…
We study normal extensions with Galois group Hol($C_8$) that are unramified over a complex quadratic subfield. The Galois group is either the semi-dihedral group or the modular group of order $16$. We present an explicit construction of…
Let $k/\mathbb F_p$ denote a finite field. For any split connected reductive group $G/W(k)$ and certain CM number fields $F$, we deform certain Galois representations $\overline\rho:Gal(\overline F/F) \to G(k)$ to continuous families…
Let l be an odd prime and K/k a Galois extension of totally real number fields with Galois group G such that K/k_\infty and k/Q are finite. We reduce the conjectured triviality of the reduced Whitehead group SK_1(QG) of the algebra…
A folklore conjecture asserts the existence of a constant $c_n > 0$ such that $\#\mathcal{F}_n(X) \sim c_n X$ as $X\to \infty$, where $\mathcal{F}_n(X)$ is the set of degree $n$ extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant bounded by $X$.…
Let K be an arbitrary number field, and let rho: Gal(Kbar/K) -> GL_2(E) be a nearly ordinary irreducible geometric Galois representation. In this paper, we study the nearly ordinary deformations of rho. When K is totally real and rho is…
Ideas and techniques from Khare's and Wintenberger's article on the proof of Serre's conjecture for odd conductors are used to establish that for a fixed prime l infinitely many of the groups PSL_2(F_{l^r}) (for r running) occur as Galois…
Given a finite transitive permutation group $G$, we investigate number fields $F/\mathbb{Q}$ of Galois group $G$ whose discriminant is only divisible by small prime powers. This generalizes previous investigations of number fields with…
The main theorem of Galois theory states that there are no finite group-subgroup pairs with the same invariants. On the other hand, if we consider complex linear reductive groups instead of finite groups, the analogous statement is no…
We prove that two arithmetically significant extensions of a field F coincide if and only if the Witt ring WF is a group ring Z/n[G]. Furthermore, working modulo squares with Galois groups which are 2-groups, we establish a theorem…
Let $k$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ and $X$ a smooth and proper scheme over $k$. Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if $X$ satisfies the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime…
Given a totally real number field $F$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree that admit a universal quadratic form defined over $F$. We further obtain several explicit classification…
For any simple algebraic group $G$ of exceptional type, we construct geometric $\ell$-adic Galois representations with algebraic monodromy group equal to $G$, in particular producing the first such examples in types $\mathrm{F}_4$ and…
The work of Greither and Pareigis details the enumeration of the Hopf-Galois structures (if any) on a given separable field extension. For an extension $L/K$ which is classically Galois with $G=Gal(L/K)$ the Hopf algebras in question are of…
For a given positive integer $n$ and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ a finite extension of ramification degree $e$, we determine the number of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ with inertia degree $f$ and a single nonnegative ramification jump at $n$ as long…
For a prime number $\ell$ and an extension of number fields $K/F$, we prove new lower bounds on the $\ell$-rank of the ideal class group of $K$ based on prime ramification in $K/F$. Unlike related results from the literature, our bound is…
We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…
We study quadratic forms that can occur as trace forms of Galois field extensions L/K, under the assumption that K contains a primitive 4th root of unity. M. Epkenhans conjectured that any such form is a scaled Pfister form. We prove this…
Let $K$ be a number field. We present several new finiteness results for isomorphism classes of abelian varieties over $K$ whose $\ell$-power torsion fields are arithmetically constrained for some rational prime $\ell$. Such arithmetic…
In this article we prove that the numerical Grothendieck group of every smooth proper dg category is invariant under primary field extensions, and also that the mod-n algebraic K-theory of every dg category is invariant under extensions of…
